Rockland Lake Weeknight Ride: All Levels
Join the Rockland Bike Club for a fun and flexible evening of laps around Rockland Lake. The loop is about 3.5 miles, making it perfect for riders of every ability. Ride one lap or ride five, it's completely up to you.
This is an all-levels ride. New members are encouraged to start here, returning members are always great to see, and stronger riders can use the loop for faster training laps. The course is also a great snapshot of what riding in Rockland County is like. Within it's 3.5 miles you'll experience a little bit of everything: flat sections, a steady climb, a fast downhill, and some rolling terrain.
We will meet at Parking Lot #1. The ride will start on the outer flat that runs from Lot #1 toward the Championship Golf Course, riding counterclockwise. If you're running a little late, just ride clockwise (make a right out of the parking lot) and you'll eventually run into the group.
If this is your first club ride:
-
Helmets are required
-
We regroup regularly (you can't get lost — we're riding in circles)
-
Bad weather cancels the ride
Hope to see you there!

Rockland Lake Thursday Night Ride – All Levels
Looking to get some miles in before the weekend? Join the Rockland Bike Club for Thursday night laps at Rockland Lake. It's a relaxed, flexible ride that works for everyone, from brand-new riders to experienced members looking to stretch the legs.
The lake loop is about 3.5 miles, so you can ride as much or as little as you want. Do one lap, a handful, or keep rolling for a solid workout. Because it's a loop, riders naturally reconnect throughout the evening.
If you're new to the club, this is a great place to start. The loop format keeps everyone close, there are plenty of chances to regroup, and riders can naturally find a pace that works for them.
The course is also a great snapshot of what riding in Rockland County feels like. Within a few miles you'll get a bit of everything: flat sections, a steady climb, a fast downhill, and some rolling terrain.
Thursday nights are also when riders often connect and make plans for the weekend rides. Come spin the legs, catch up with other members, and see who's heading out on Saturday or Sunday.
We meet at Parking Lot #1. The ride starts on the outer flat heading toward the Championship Golf Course, riding counterclockwise. If you arrive late, simply head clockwise (make a right out of the lot) and you'll run into the group.

- 9AAll/111010.010.00Bear Mountain Bike Jam!Seth Wiley
Come spend a day chillin and riding our local mountain.
I'll be treating it as my first Everest attempt of the year - so I'll be planning to ride from roughly 1am until around 8pm with stops for food, nature, and fun.
Come ride as much or as little as you want. It's a chance to really just relax and marvel at this amazing piece of topography and riverscape.
Who knows? Maybe I'll even turn this into some kind of fund raising event for nature conservation and cycling promotion - give me a dollar for each time I ascend Bear and you're only obligated to pay if I do more than like a 1/2 Everest - meaning like 12 ascents of Bear. With the goal being 24 ascents - so 24$ per pledger.
So, how's that sound? Come as you are do as much or as little as you want. It's all for fun and the love of cycling

UNAFFILIATED RIDE
This is long at 125 miles. But the preliminary route is flat - less than 2000 feet. So I figure it's a good way to rip the bandaid off those winter legs. Here's the website: https://www.njrandonneurs.org/batsto-200k.html. The registration is cheap at $20 but you have to join the NJ Randonneurs. That's $30. Altogether, it's still less that the Bloomin Metric. I'm booking a cheap room near the start. And, if we can't finish, well, there's always Uber. Keep the rubber side down.

Thursday nights are also when riders often connect and make plans for the weekend rides. Come spin the legs, catch up with other members, and see who's heading out on Saturday or Sunday.
We meet at Parking Lot #1. The ride starts on the outer flat heading toward the Championship Golf Course, riding counterclockwise. If you arrive late, simply head clockwise (make a right out of the lot) and you'll run into the group.
If this is your first club ride:
-
Helmets are required
-
We regroup regularly (you can't get lost — we're riding in circles)
-
Bad weather cancels the ride
Come out, ride a few laps, and get ready for the weekend.

You gotta have a steel steed to show up for this ride. Bring your best steel rig for a Course d'Elegance.
We'll low ride this course ... real slow like, so we can absorb the looks. Definitely stop for a looooong café break involving espresso, biscotti, and plenty of mineral water.
You can wear wool if you like, or even put a spare tubular over your shoulders figure-eight style. Maybe show up with aviator goggles or a metal bidon in your cage?
If it rains, the ride is canceled because steel rusts, as you well know.
Course to come, but expect it to be pretty dang flat,because I'm sure some of our steel rigs have ridiculous gearing.

Placeholder post!
This is the Panzera special so figuring he'll take the helm on scheduling.
We did 175 miles last year. 165 the year before. So let's do 200 this year.
Like before, this will be an exploration of the day, the terrain, and one's self.
People are welcome to come for part or all of the ride. We had a few different groups last year that hopped on the ride for anywhere from 65 to 125 miles of the whole enchilada.
The route will be planned to there are 2-3 loops around the Hudson River to facilitate people doing partial routes.

Tour de Rockland - Eastern Tier
A moderate rolling loop from Rockland Lake, featuring the climb on 9W and the descent into Nyack. Natural regroup at mile 10 at Piermont Pier, then continuing south briefly before turning north on the Clark Rail Trail. The return climbs Strawtown Road to Lake DeForest and rolls back through Congers to Rockland Lake.
At 29 miles and ~1,400 ft of elevation (~48 ft/mi), this route balances steady effort with plenty of flat sections to recover...or push the pace.
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

Tour de Rockland - Central Tier
A loop starting from Kennedy Dells that heads north to South Mountain Road, setting up a long downhill from Route 304, down Kings Hwy to the bottom of Lake DeForest. The route weaves a figure-eight pattern, with the northbound return beginning at the southern end of the Clark Rail Trail and climbing Strawtown Road. If you're new to road riding in Rockland, this route covers sections you'll see on nearly every club ride.
At 32 miles and ~1200 ft of elevation (~38 ft/mi), this route is quite possibly the flattest route in Rockland County. It's got to be because of that little dip into Jersey.

A loop starting from Memorial Park in Nyack and tests your climbing prowess.
At 42 miles and ~2,700 ft of elevation (~64 ft/mi), this route is climb-heavy. Up and out of Nyack with two distinct efforts on 9W, then turns west to ascend South Mountain Road before a well-earned rest stop at the Orchards around mile 14. The terrain continues to roll from there. A flatter stretch through New City offers relief before finishing with the climb up Bradley Hill and a descent back into Nyack.

Tour de Rockland - Harriman
All rides should start in Harriman because it's beautiful
At 35 miles and ~2,700 ft of elevation (~77 ft/mi), this route sits firmly in Z3 all day. The warm-up is Seven Lakes Drive, followed by sustained climbing throughout. You'll descend into Tiorati only to climb back out, roll briefly downhill to Kanawauke, then climb again, earning the reward of the long, flowy Kanawauke descent. After exiting the park toward Long Meadow Road, there's a bit more grinding before literally, downhill all the way home. The payoff for all that climbing is minimal traffic for the full 35 miles and outstanding scenery.
Regroup points with water and bathrooms are available throughout, however food options are limited, so plan to carry enough fuel.
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

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.

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.
