The annual assault up Arden Valley Road into Harriman State Park returns! As always the weather will be hot and humid and the ride is hilly which means lots of sweaty fun! There will be a plenty of opportunities for water, but we don't have to stop at all of them. Mile 19 Wanaque QuickChek. Mile 34 Sterling Forest Firehouse. Mile 40 lunch at Southfields Valero. Mile 65 Tallman Wendy's, plus the traditional group photo at the mailboxes at mile 55. Last years pace was 14.9, it will be a fast B or very low B*. All we ask is that you are mentally and physically prepared to climb, sweat and keep an overall high B pace. Bring plenty of water, a snack, lunch, and GPS route. Also please park in the parking lot on Mechanic Street, on the opposite side of the train tracks from the Farmer's Market. Call me if you want to co-lead.

Who asks that question? Doug! For you, Barbara voted for a bike ride. She also entered the ride so that there would be no more talk about those 2 four letter words - yard work (at least for another week). Going on a familiar route to Sorrento (East Hanover not Italy). Barbara and Doug still aren’t doing hills. This is a fairly flat ride which means that the expected pace will be about 14.5 mph as long as any prevailing wind is a tail wind and not a head wind. We will enjoy a relaxed lunch at our favorite deli/bakery. Those who will counsel Doug about his priorities are particularly welcome! [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. ] 

Hi everyone, This a place holder for a ride we intend for this area. We are looking for a better start location and a route that bypasses some of the very rough areas. Look for our updates. This is an opportunity to ride three historic rail trails on a single route: the Lehigh Hudson, Sussex Branch, and Paulinskill Rail Trails. This is going to be an adventure ride with a variety of surfaces, including a small section of single track (nothing scary or aggressive though). 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. Also, Wings Cafe at mile marker 36.5 looks like a good place for us to take a break. [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. ] 

*** Safety tip of the day: Keep your eyes on the road at all time.

Every year, we visit The Catskills at least once—and today is the day.
Join us for this adventure as we discover new roads, beautiful scenery, and the many creative ways a road can go uphill.
Yes, there will be climbing—it’s not called the Catskill Mountains for nothing! But fear not: only one climb is officially rated IHEFC😊. At roughly 5 miles long, it’s not a sprint to the top. It’s a proper mountain climb: long, steady, and just difficult enough to show you what climbing is all about. Settle into a rhythm, find your groove, and remember: eventually, the mountain will run out of road. You can check R5m data here.
Of course, we’ll regroup at the top of every climb—and whenever necessary. No one gets left behind. 3 quick stops are listed on the route. Expect a 15 to 16 avg and a return to the parking lot around 3pm

The reward? Beautiful roads, spectacular views, and the satisfaction of conquering another Catskills adventure.
Bring your legs, your gears and most importantly, come enjoy time with your friends.
The mountains await. Let’s ride!

*** 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 may be updated at any time, so please load the latest version just before the ride.
