Early bird catches the worm. Water break at mile 23, Food break at mile 47 So what do you say...go for it & sign up now! [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. ] 

For the time crunched cyclist looking for a shorter tempo ride with little climbing! Stop at Lincoln Park Bagels. Expect to finish before noon. The goal is to ride together as a group throughout the ride to avoid unnecessary regrouping and for safety. [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. ] 

Having just the day before done a hilly 69 mile ride, I'm planning to do an easy, rolling ride on what looks to be a nice summer Saturday. Stop at Church Street Bagels in Denville at mile 23.5. Moderate B* pace, no-drop ride. [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. ] 

*** Safety Tip of the Day: Respect drivers, hopefully they'll respect us!

This weekend is the New York Airshow at Orange County Airport, so let's take advantage of it! We'll ride around the airport and, every now and then, remember to look up and see what we can spot in the sky. We don't have the air show schedule, so we'll leave it to fate. Maybe we'll catch the Thunderbirds screaming overhead... maybe we'll just see a Cessna looking for a parking spot. Either way, it'll be a great day to ride. ------R5m data here-----
As always, we'll regroup after the climbs and main intersections. Stop will be Mason's Marketplace at mile 21 and a quick refuel at mile 48. After the ride , if it's not too late you're all invited to Sam's house. If you decide to go please let him know HERE.

*** A few sections of the route may be busy, so please use common sense, ride safely, and avoid impeding traffic whenever possible. Of course, helmets are required, earbuds are not allowed, and lights are highly recommended.

SAFETY FIRST. Stay alert and pay attention while you ride. ALWAYS EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED

P.S.: Route could be updated anytime, please load at the last minute. [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. ] 

Early morning ride at a comfortable pace for the first half, giving everyone a chance to enjoy the sunrise and the scenic bike trail for approximately 19 miles. We'll gradually pick up the pace as the ride progresses while continuing to take in the beautiful surroundings. We'll regroup after all major hills to keep the group together. Reminders: Bring snacks and plenty of fluids. Hydrate well before and during the ride. Planned Stops: Elmsford Deli – Mile 20 Tappan Zee Bridge (bathroom stop) – Mile 30 Coffee Ride Café – Mile 34. [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. ] 

Chill ride to Howard's Bagels in Montville and we'll do the Jacksonville hill on the return. I've been out of action for a couple of weeks, so the pace on the flats might be a bit slower, and much slower on the climbs. I expect we'll have a final average somewhere in the middle of the B range. [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. ] 

Let's head to Mahwah and Ramsey again. We'll have a quick stop/"refuel" at Dunkin Donuts at mid-point of the trip. Terrain is rolling with a few hills and, as always, we'll be slower in the first half and faster on the way back, aiming at overall end average in the low 15 mph or better, making this ride suitable for strong B riders. We should be back at the parking lot well before before noon. Please carry with you plenty of fluid and a snack. [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. ] 

Ride canceled due to health concerns. Sorry! From Fort Lee Historic park, the plan is to travel down the Manhattan summer streets, Broadway south to the Hamilton Grange National Memorial (just read the book!),dip into the park, head to city hall and the Brooklyn bridge bridge, and return on the west side Hudson River Greenway. There is no map. It's a first time for this route. I'm looking for a few intrepid folks to join me. We'll pass the Intrepid! For any city ride, the ride is limited to five people. Thank you. [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. If you signup for a ride and your plans change, please cancel the night before the ride so that we can get an accurate count. ] 

No toilets at start, but yes at the park and along the way at Montville Community Center if needed. Let's enjoy the start of the weekend with this easy-going ride.

Gravel bikes, or at least 36mm tires strongly recommended. Clean public restrooms close to start. This ride is rebranded from one called, "The Leaning Tower of Gravel" that made its debut during the New Paltz Gravel Tour. It starts in downtown New Paltz right on the Wallkill Valley RT, and takes us directly north to the excellent view from atop the Rosendale Trestle. Shortly afterwards, we take a paved road segment to hop over to the scenic, but considerably more rugged O&W RT, for an out-and-back leg. We then continue north along the O&W to reach the O&W Connector which takes us into Kingston for lunch. We'll stop at a street corner that has 3 great lunch spots. We return via the Wallkill RT, and take a Tour of the historic Hugenot district near the end of the ride. If anyone wants to hang around in New Paltz afterwards, for an early dinner, I know a lot of great restaurants in town. 

Ride some of the best and most scenic rural roads in Westchester County. Paulie's Deli as a social gathering spot after ride. Offers food, drinks, and beer on tap or in coolers. Features outdoor seating for socializing. Provides a view of parked bikes from the seating area. Each ride will have three “pace groups”, which will differ in speed, distance, and intensity of climbing. There will be a common hangout location after each ride, so all groups can socialize over food and drinks. Participating in all five rides will take you to all of the major gravel riding zones in our region – a true gravel tour! [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. ] 

As the title suggests, this ride doesn’t have a specific destination. We’ll cycle to the 4.5-mile Pompton Valley Rail Trail and take a break at mile 16 in Lincoln Park. Afterward, we’ll return past the Lincoln Park Airport to Oakland. This will be a true C* ride. No one who can maintain a C* pace will be dropped. Renie Gaddi deserves a special mention for designing the route. [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. ] 

PLEASE READ... This ride is for strong B riders seeking a challenge on a 39-mile FLAT route. We recently did this same flat ride from Oakland to Howard's Bagels on two separate rides (17.1 and 17.4mph overall averages) and everyone finished proud of their accomplishments. We are NOT listing it as a B* ride because many strong B riders fall between categories: flat B rides may feel too slow, while hillier B* rides may be too fast. AS USUAL, WE WILL RIDE AS FAST AS THE SLOWEST RIDER. So if you're up for the challenge on keeping a strong B/low B* pace on a flat route, we’d love for you to join us! [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. ] 

If you are not familiar with the area, please give yourself a little extra travel time. Please review the route ahead of time and download it for navigation.

Piermont out and back via 9W. Starting in Tenafly, we will go easy on the climb up Clinton to 9W then paceline together at tempo. Not a hammerfest, but a controlled hard effort.
