- 9aB/144746.546.50Ashokan Resevoir AdventureRachel Lerner
Come ride with me up in the Catskills on a beautiful loop up through Woodstock and around the Ashokan Resevoir.
We will be starting at the Thorne Preserve in Woodstock, NY and riding a loop around the Ashokan Resevoir and back through Woodstock.
***There are very limited options for bathrooms and refueling throughout the ride, so please be sure to plan according with water, stuff your pockets with food, and have spare tubes/tools etc. [full disclosure - I may be the posting ride leader, but I cannot help you change a flat.]
- 9aC+/132525.025.00Closter For CoffeeDave Zornow
Let's do a road ride to Closter for coffee. Route goes out through Tappan and Summit St in Northvale and returns on Piermont Rd. There's an optional scenic stop on the Piermont Pier on the way back. RWGPS Route fixed (SPC)
Starting point is Coffee Ride Cafe. Make sure you bring your helmet, have food, 1-2 bottles of water and anything necessary for bike repair (air pump/CO2, tubes, patch kit, etc.)This is a no-drop ride.
Wondering Weather Or Not We Will Ride? If rain threatens and you are wondering "weather" or not we are going to ride…if it's raining 30 minutes before start time, go back to bed. Same decision if storms are predicted during the time we will be riding. Check WeatherUnderground.com for radar and an hour by hour forecast.Note that the RideWithGPS link defaults to a different route due to a website bug. Sorry!

- 9:30aB/154141.041.00Sunday Club Ride - Vintage Version (Starts West Nyack!)Steve CrowellNo Rockland route is completely flat, but this one avoids the epic climbs. Starting from the 1840 Tavern, 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 West Nyack on Strawtown Rd.
We'll regroup at a couple of easily missed turns and at the top of the one significant climb.
Becasue David's Bagels is doiing a remodel the ride starts at Taimoa in West Nyack. 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.With a bit of luck, we can meet the other group(s) back at Taimoca or 1840 Tavern for a apres-ride beverage.
Average speed: 15 mph overall average, 16-20 on the flats.
Total distance: about 41 miles with lots of options for cut offs - especially at mile 25 where we begin our northern loop.
Rain at the start will cancel the ride. If it rains later we'll get wet taking a shortcut home.

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.

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.

This is a great event with 74 mile, 52 mile and 27 mile route options. If you're up to it, the 74-mile ride includes the climb up Devil's Kitchen, one of the steepest and most difficult climbs in the Northeast. Last year, I rode the 52-mile route.

- 7:30pAll/142222.022.00Sturgeon Moon RideSeth Wiley
Tonight is the Full Sturgeon Moon so let's ride along the Hudson and see if we can see some Sturgeon.
Route takes us south to Piermont, Tappan and back up River Rd, over the MCB and to Piermont Creamery where we can get an ice cream before going home. Those that want to extend the ride can do so...
You must bring front & rear lights!
We'll ride slower than normal and try and stay off main roads to be safe.
Bad weather cancels...
Bring smiles, water, a sense of adventure and spares.
