- 7:30AB16.020.11Dawn Patrol - Pearl River - Old TappanSteve Crowell
It's warming up and time for Dawn Patrol!
Weather can be cool in the morning so bring layers, a well tuned machine and good cheer!
This is a no-drop ride and we'll be back by 9ish so we can get on with the day.
Rain at the start cancels....

- 6PAll15.015Rockland Lake Laps & Skills SessionBob Urtnowski
Meet up at Lot 1, near the pavilion.
Adding an option to the usual laps, a short spin outside of Rockland Lake. This is an all levels ride, view it as a club training session to approach climbing, descending and pedaling as a group. One regroup at the top of Old Haverstaw Road as shown below.
This ride is neither beginner or advanced, it's designed to practice riding together. Ideally we'll learn each others riding styles, talk tactics, and work on the various aspects of cycling. Need help shifting or tips on how to reach down for a water bottle? This is the ride. If you're a B/B+ rider who wants to practice pulling a C/C+ rider back to the line - this is that ride. The goal is a safer, more enjoyable, experience during our weekend rides.
Once we return to the lake, we'll resume counterclockwise laps. If you choose to stick with laps, start by heading counterclockwise (left out of lot 1). This allows anyone running late to catch up by going clockwise. There won't be a fixed regrouping policy during laps.

Welcome to the Rockland Bicycling Club, we're eager to get to know you!
This ride is for EVERYONE. We will ride together and pace the group according to who is riding. It's not going to be a difficult ride - it's more about having fun and getting to know new friends.
The Route: This is a very short loop on familiar roads that we ride often. Our intention is to use this as a 'base loop' and the riders can extend/cut-short as desired. The roads are open to cars but we'll be together and visible to motorists. At our pre-ride safety talk, we'll make sure everyone knows what to expect while riding in a group and along these roads in specific.
What to bring: Please bring a well maintained bike with inflated tires, a lubed chain and whatever you need in case you get a flat. As always, dress for success. If it's cool, wear more clothes. If it's hot, wear less.
Bad weather will cancel the ride. Check back here one-hour prior to roll-out if you're unsure.
When we're finished, we can grab coffee/pizza/chill as everyone wants. There's Primaverra Pizza, Anna's Bakery, Dunkin, etc. nearby.
Please email Membership@RocklandBicyclingClub.org if you have questions or concerns or put them in the Comments to Ride Leader section.

Back by popular demand and proudly presented by Westwood Cycle of Westwood, NJ.
The first of a series of bi-weekly summer 2023 evening rides, starting and finishing at Flights & Pints in Downtown Nyack.
Strong attendance last year allowed us to form two or three groups at each event to cover the range of speeds of the attendees. Whatever your riding pace be reassured that you'll have someone to ride with.
We will be looking to make a 6:00 PM SHARP departure as we have 23 miles to cover, with hills! Oh, and we have beer to drink when we get back! Street parking is the order of the day in Nyack, but we should, again, be able to roll our bikes through into the back garden at Flights & Pints at the end of the ride.

- 7AB14.0118(Kind Of Summer Solstice) Poughkeepsie Twist!Robert Panzera
118 miles and 8,000+ feet climbing.
We'll grab lunch in Poughkeepsie.
You could even take the train back from Poughkeepsie if you only want to ride half the distance.
Other distance shortening options are crossing over the river at Bear Mountain or in Newburgh.Route Description
We'll pedal up the west side of the Hudson avoiding Route 9W as much as possible once we leave Rockland County, but sticking close to the river. Rolling through west shore towns of Cornwall, Newburgh, Marlboro, Milton, then cross at Highland into Poughkeepsie over the Walkway over the Hudson. Then down the east shore avoiding Route 9 as much as possible. Rolling through the towns of Wappingers Falls, Beacon, Cold Spring, Peekskill, Crotonville, Ossining, and Tarrytown. Then back over the Hudson on the Shared Use Path.Pace & Regroups
This ride is listed as B pace, but we'll likely land in the 15mph zone. Regroups are listed as "Occasional", but we'll ride as a pack on flat and rolling terrain to maximize drafting, slowing to regroup over larger hills. We'll use convenience stores for rest stops and stop for lunch (cafe). The lunch stop will be short and sweet, under 30 min, so the rubber on our tires doesn't go cold. Come prepared to ride with abbreviated stops.

- 9AB15.537Taco Saturday - 37Steve Crowell
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

- 7AAll13.083.6The Dirty Project*Robert Panzera
Join me in the Upper Vallery of Vermont for this killer, but very low key, gravel grinder. It's only $50 to register, but it's also a fundraiser for the Dartmouth Cancer Center if you want to raise more funds, which is encouraged.
The vibe is very similar to Ride 'Round Rockland actually.It's one of the toughest courses that I've ever ridden, even though it changes slightly year to year.
It's true gravel roads with over 75% of the course unpaved. There are some steep ups on gravel and also step downs, which definitely can wear you out. Not many placesto rest or recover on this course.Complete details here, plus link to registration: https://www.thedirtyproject.org/the-route
Summary
Starting from Huntley Meadows, 111 Turnpike Road, Norwich, VT 05055 on Saturday, July 15 at 7am.
The DP23 is jam-packed with what you love: gravel, climbing, and lot's of it! At 83 miles with 10,000+ feet elevation gain, this will be one tough course! We have incorporated many classic DP dirt roads and climbs that have defined the event for 8 years, and added a few new ones!RWGPS link attached to this ride. Also, Strava here in the writeup.
https://www.strava.com/routes/3071957264069260568
How It Works
- We'll have GPS files (Ride with GPS and Strava) available to download.
- 4 supported SAGs but plan to provide your own support as well (it's a long ride!)
- There will be class IV sections, but the course is generally ridable on a gravel, cross or road bike. We recommend 30-cc + tires.

- 6PAll14.020Ride then Imbibe 2023 - Presented by Westwood CycleDuncan McMillan
Back by popular demand and proudly sponsored by Westwood Cycles of Westwood, NJ.
The fifth of a series of bi-weekly summer evening rides, starting and finishing at a selection of local breweries and restaurants/bars.
Exact locations are still to be determined and if you have any suggestions for favorite 'watering holes' then let me know. Last year we graced the following establishments:
- Gentle Giant
- Defiant Brewing
- Pearl River Saloon
- District 96
- Louie's on the Avenue
- 1840 Tavern
... amongst others.
Strong attendance last year allowed us to form two or three groups at each event to cover the range of speeds of the attendees. Whatever your riding pace be reassured that you'll have someone to ride with. Locations and RWGPS routes will be posted in the weeks before the ride - so keep an eye open!

- 6PAll15.015Rockland Lake Laps & Skills SessionBob Urtnowski
Meet up at Lot 1, near the pavilion.
Adding an option to the usual laps, a short spin outside of Rockland Lake. This is an all levels ride, view it as a club training session to approach climbing, descending and pedaling as a group. One regroup at the top of Old Haverstaw Road as shown below.
This ride is neither beginner or advanced, it's designed to practice riding together. Ideally we'll learn each others riding styles, talk tactics, and work on the various aspects of cycling. Need help shifting or tips on how to reach down for a water bottle? This is the ride. If you're a B/B+ rider who wants to practice pulling a C/C+ rider back to the line - this is that ride. The goal is a safer, more enjoyable, experience during our weekend rides.
Once we return to the lake, we'll resume counterclockwise laps. If you choose to stick with laps, start by heading counterclockwise (left out of lot 1). This allows anyone running late to catch up by going clockwise. There won't be a fixed regrouping policy during laps.

- 10AAll13.07RBC New Member RideSteve Crowell
Welcome to the Rockland Bicycling Club, we're eager to get to know you!
This ride is for EVERYONE. We will ride together and pace the group according to who is riding. It's not going to be a difficult ride - it's more about having fun and getting to know new friends.
The Route: This is a very short loop on familiar roads that we ride often. Our intention is to use this as a 'base loop' and the riders can extend/cut-short as desired. The roads are open to cars but we'll be together and visible to motorists. At our pre-ride safety talk, we'll make sure everyone knows what to expect while riding in a group and along these roads in specific.
What to bring: Please bring a well maintained bike with inflated tires, a lubed chain and whatever you need in case you get a flat. As always, dress for success. If it's cool, wear more clothes. If it's hot, wear less.
Bad weather will cancel the ride. Check back here one-hour prior to roll-out if you're unsure.
When we're finished, we can grab coffee/pizza/chill as everyone wants. There's Primaverra Pizza, Anna's Bakery, Dunkin, etc. nearby.
Please email Membership@RocklandBicyclingClub.org if you have questions or concerns or put them in the Comments to Ride Leader section.
