RBC Primavera
Join us on May 1 for the RBC Primavera, the club's first event of the 2021 season. We are excited to partner with Playa Cancun in Stony Point, NY, for our start/finish. This intra-club event is a way for all club members to come out, ride, and then hang out afterward for lunch. Come meet your fellow club mates, whether they ride in A, B, or C groups. Get your spring legs under you by either choosing the 30 mile or 50 mile course.
Chow down on a post-ride outdoor lunch near the Hudson River and share stories from the ride. Playa Cancun is offering a prix fixe menu including an appetizer, main meal, and non-alcoholic drinks. Want to spice it up a bit? Well, the bar will be open! You can also bring a guest to lunch.
Sign up for the ride on the RBC Ride Calendar. We'll send you a link to PayPal to pay for the lunch ($30/person) after you sign up.
