- 1PB14.520.06Friday Follies/Lunch Bunch: Rockland Lake - New City LoopSteve Crowell
Join us for about 20mi so we can get to the bar quickly! (It's Friday people...LOL!)
Don't forget the spare tubes and something to inflate.
This is a no drop ride and we'll be back by 2ish
This route isn't hilly and most of us will recognize the roads.
This is a ride that anyone can ride as you won't get lost. Feeling strong? Go faster. Not feeling it...that's OK too, we won't leave you behind.
Dress for success & bring a well cared for bike, spares and good cheer.
Bad weather cancels ride - check back here 45mins before start if it looks like weather will be a factor

- 11AB15.050Let’s get drenched! April Fools!!!Steve Crowell
We'll see about the actual weather but what the heck! :)
Looking to do a Zone 2 longer ride - Village Hall Cafe to Englewood and back around. Plenty of bail-outs and places to stop if it's too nasty.
Weather looks 50/50 in the afternoon but WARM!.
So get ready to get wet...just in case!
I bet the weather will actually be ok, it we'll see.
We'll regroup as need be, go faster if we want, or go slower if we want. The only data point we're gonna pay attention to is the width of our smiles!
Happy Spring..!
And watch for updates - if the weather / roads really look dangerous, I'll cancel asap.
Dress for success and be self-sufficient!

- 6:30AC+13.013The Morning LoopRobert Panzera
Hoping to make this a Tuesday tradition at 6:30am, if possible. Easy roll, which is flat until we finish with a climb up Bradley to Tweed. You could cut out the upper part of Tweed and stay on Bradley straight into Nyack, if you are not feeling the elevation on the day.
Just want to get on the bike for ~hour and breathe in the morning air. Join me?
Maybe we move it to 6:00am as the days grow longer and add in a few more miles to the south or north.

- 9AB15.070Lunch in Cold Spring!Seth Wiley
Will post RWGPS route soon.
Been focusing on some longer riders lately and looking to do a century on a couple months so this should be a nice local route for building miles.
The route will likely start center of Pearl River at Dean's Coffee (plenty of parking) - take a mostly flat route to Cold Spring and back - via Middletown Road - up and over High Tor - Main Street / Central Highway thru Haverstraw - then up 9W thru Stony Point to Bear Mountain Bridge - then up 9D - LUNCH & COFFEE :) - then back via the same route.
If you've ridden with me you know I roll computer-free...the only thing on my handlebar is a bell! And the only data point I care about is the width of our smiles! :) So as far as pace, regrouping, etc. - we'll roll old school style and just chat and sort it out on the ride.
Fell free to hit me up: sethwiley@gmail.com

- 9AB15.537Taco Saturday - 37Duncan McMillan
Yes, yes, I know it's supposed to be Taco Tuesday, but in my opinion alliteration is overused. So, "What is Taco Saturday?", I hear you ask.
It's two rides starting out from Craft Taqueria in New City: this ride, a B pace and a C+ pace (29 miles in length) led by Duncan. The two routes start out together, split, and then rejoin later in the ride - it'll be fun to see where and when we cross paths.
Anyways, we'll all meet up back at the restaurant and grab a delicious lunch of tacos and other Mexican-inspired goodies. Everyone will be on their own for their lunch check.
Here's a link to Craft Taqueria should you care to peruse the food and drinks menu - https://www.crafttaqueria.com/
Pace: 15.5 mph or so average speed
Terrain: rolling (54 ft/mile elevation gain)
Rest stops: None planned, but we'll enjoy lunch and an adult beverage at the end
Disclosure - Craft Taqueria, owned and operated by Lisa Kreisel's son Jeff, was voted Best Tacos in Rockland County in 2022.
