- 6:15AAll/152727.427.40Saturday AM Watts!Fred Lebrun
Saturday morning sparks ON. Wheels up from David's Bagels at 6:30 AM, rolling out of Pomona and waking the legs not torching them. Sip, clip in, roll.
We regroup as needed. Bring water, helmet (mandatory), a spare tube, and make sure your bike is dialed. All club rules apply. No go in rain or on wet roads.

- 7AAll/154343.043.00Sunday Fun Day - Mott Farm LoopSteve Crowell
A no nonsense ride with some climbing - nothing too hard or unfamiliar roads. We're out early and back to get on with the day.
Not looking to kill the speed - steady Eddie.
Bring hydration, snacks and a well tuned machine.
Rain at the start cancels. if unsure, check here 30m before departure.
- 9:30AAll/135050.050.00Farm to Fork 50David Booth
Leave Rockland traffic behind and spin some miles away on Orange County 2 lane black tops. This ride starts and stops at the Warwick Valley Winery and Distillery. (see "Locations" for directions.) Stay for a beverge at the finish.
Notes: 1) Don't forget to pack a lunch for the road and 2) There will be a small parking fee at the Warwick Winerey.
- 8:30AC+/143737.037.00Vintage Sunday RideStephen BrehlIt's the old favorite ride to Old Tappan, just at a more relaxed pace. As always, there is very limited climbing. No rides in Rockland are completely flat, but this has no epic climbs. Starting in New City, we take Strawtown/Sickletown Roads to Pearl River. Over to Rivervale Road and Old Tappan Road in NJ, and Western Highway back to West Nyack. Old Mill to Valley Cottage. Rockland Lake via Lake Road and then back to New City.
We'll regroup at a couple of easily missed turns and at the top of the one significant (but manageable) climb. We will stop in a shady spot about halfway through the ride to eat whatever snacks we brought in our pockets.
The ride starts at David's Bagels in New City. The store is located at 64 North Main Street, next to Shoprite. If you drive to the ride there's plenty of parking. Please be considerate and leave the prime spaces in front of the stores open.
Average speed: 14 mph overall average. I'm terrible on climbs these days, so figure slower going up, but let's take full advantage of the downhill stretches like Western Highway.
Total distance: about 38 miles with an option for 10 fewer miles.
Rain at the start will cancel the ride. If it rains later we'll get wet.

Tour de Rockland - Perkins
Oh boy…
At 37 miles and ~2,800 ft of elevation (~76 ft/mi), this ride looks bigger than it really is. Bear Mountain does the heavy lifting, about 4 miles and roughly 1,200 ft of gain. Strip that out, and the remaining mileage averages closer to ~49 ft per mile, which should feel familiar by this point.
Yes, Mott Farm and Gate Hill still come after Perkins and they count but once those are behind you, the route drops back toward Haverstraw and the discomfort fades quickly.
Regroup at mile 14 at the top of Bear, because that's just how it's done.
This ride is being posted as an all-ride, with the expectation that the group may naturally split into A / B / C pace groups along the way. Regroups are built into the route. If anyone is willing to help ride-lead or sweep a pace group, please reach out: rbcboard@rocklandbicyclingclub.org

- 6PAll/131818.418.40Ride. Refresh. Repeat. Sponsored by The 1840 TavernDavid Booth
Welcome to Ride. Refresh. Repeat.
Join RBC every other Wednesday night until we loose our light for 18.40 miles around Lake DeForest and Rockland Lake.
We'll gather across the street from The 1840 Tavern (lots of parking!) and break into groups as pace and energy level permits. The posted route will never change.
We know these roads well, so if some folks would like to ride shorter (or longer) there's plenty of cut-offs and extensions.
Our Sponsor, The 1840 Tavern welcomes us back for apres-ride festivities in thier garden or inside as riders choose.
Even if you don't want to ride, come on out and just hang-out with us so we can catch-up and share tall tales.
Hope to see you there!

Tour de Rockland - Harriman Part 2
Did you know you can ride into Harriman? Of course you do but Willow Grove usually keeps it off the list.
At 40 miles and ~3,000 ft of elevation (~75 ft/mi), this route includes two long, grinding climbs. Both are shorter than Bear Mountain, so perspective helps. Willow Grove has one truly hard section, and if Stage 4 is already in the legs, the Tiorati pacing should feel familiar. The descent back down Willow Grove is fast, and the final 10 miles trend downhill, making for a forgiving finish.
Regroups will make sense at mile 10, and again around mile 18. Like stage 4, food stops are limited so pack your pockets.
This ride is being posted as an all-ride, with the expectation that the group may naturally split into A / B / C pace groups along the way. Regroups are built into the route. If anyone is willing to help ride-lead or sweep a pace group, please reach out: rbcboard@rocklandbicyclingclub.org

- 6AAll/13.9138138.0138.00Walkway Over The Hudson - CounterclockwiseSteve Crowell
In need of some adventure? Ready for a long but "chill" ride? Join us for a trip up to Walkway Over The Hudson! It's a big ride but you can join for a portion or all of it. "Hop-on, hop-off"!
In the spirit of Rondeneurring, we're going to go slow, then ease-up. We'll be eating all along the way from our pockets, ice cream, pizza, whatever we can find. Starting at the Salsbury Co-ops in Nyack, we'll move over the TZ Bridge to Westchester and the North County Trailway. From there we'll get to the Maybrook Trail and over the Hudson. Back down the familar route thru Newburgh, Cornwall, up 218 to Storm King & West Point, back via Bear Mtn (maybe we'll visit Bob at work or drop-in to Rockland Lake Ride if someone posts it) then home to Nyack.
This is an adventure, not a race - we'll go delibrately and try not to spend too long stopped (remember the Turtle & the Hare?)
Hope to see some smiling faces along the way ; )
