Both the 25 and 30 mile routes include a steep but relatively short hill on John Street (there is "bailout" for those who do not wish to climb John Street), and the 30 mile ride includes the climb up Whippowill that was included in the 20 and 28 mile routes of the 2010 Wednesday Night Fling. We encourage all Club members and their friends to come out and ride, and stay for food and conversation afterwards at the Griff's restaurant. All routes are plotted and listed with a link to Ride With GPS on the cue sheet page.

Beautiful ride out of Freedom Park in LaGrangeville. We can carpool, just send me an email. We will travel the rolling hills of LaGrange, Verbank and have lunch in Millbrook. Pace will be 13-13.5. Come and see a beautiful part of the Hudson Valley. Regrouping as necessary. Bring spare tubes and a snack. Cue sheet forthcoming. http://ridewithgps.com/routes/576928

This is a great ride with some long steady climbs (my favorite), some flats, and some long steady downs (my favorite). Starting time is a tad earlier because of the distance - the cue sheet lies. Stop will be at the dirty deli around Whaley Lake - I recommend not ordering off the grill due to proximity to the bathroom.

RAIN DATE: Sun. 5/27TH........ADVANCE SIGN UP REQUIRED FOR MY RIDES, NOT DAY OF, THANKS. (Start location is 8.3 miles north of Rt. 684 at intersection of Rt 22 + 311. Look for Patterson Commons/ A&P shopping center on NW Corner)...... This is the second preparatory ride leading up to the 1.5 Century in June, again starting in Patterson and going all the way to Great Barrington this time. Here's the map: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/66848 (Correct elevation: ~4799 ft. I'm going to cut 1 mile by not going into town of GB) ..... Plan is to ride 123 miles using the route of the club's Double Century.... As others will now attest, this is a wonderful, scenic and relatively flat route. .......Short rest stops + REGROUPING along the way. If you would like to do a shorter ride and join us en route, a good location to start/finish is the Wingdale Train station (would be a Century ride). Target 16’s or more, based on my avg. last year (16.9) and I’m normally a mid/upper level B pace rider on our local hillier routes. So this ride IS for MID/UPPER B LEVEL riders and above, as long as you’ve already ridden lots of miles this year. (Faster/Slower groups + leaders welcome to post route and share the day) ........Allowing 2 hours for rest stops, regroups + misc, expect to finish around 5:30 or 6:00pm. Helmets required, no headphones, check your tires + bike carefully, bring 2 spare tubes, food + water. Meet EARLY to depart promptly at 7am. Let’s ride safe + smart and enjoy this very special bit of cycling nirvana!........

39 miles starting from Yorktown, going around Peach Lake and Titicus Reservoir. Hilly, lots of water views. Start at commuter parking lot on Underhill Avenue, left-hand side of Yorktown Town Hall. Take the Taconic 20 minutes north from Route 287. Right at Underhill Avenue exit east 1.5 miles. At first traffic light, go straight across, pass Yorktown Town Hall on right, commuter lot is next on right.

We'll do this ride together, with a pace of around 12 to 12.5 mph. That's the easy part, an easy C pace. This is a hilly ride, though, C+ or B- or some such kind of territory. That's the hard part. If you're the sort of cyclist who complains about hills, you might not like this ride. The roads are generally quiet, lots of green, and no food rest stop -- just rest rooms and water -- so bring pocket food and good spirits. Please arrive in time to leave the start at 9:30am.

"Hastings Velo Sunday Shop Ride": "Hastings Velo Sunday Shop Ride": Please join us for our Sunday morning shop ride. We meet at Antoinette’s Patisserie located on 417 Warburton Ave just 4 blocks south of Main St in Hastings on Hudson. Our team barista Kus will be firing up the espresso machine and there will be a fine assortment of fuel food as well. This ride is hard to categorize. We encourage riders of all types to join us. We meet at 7:30AM and roll out no later than 8:00AM. We will ride as one group north on RT 9 to Sleepy Hollow High School, following the Rules of the Road etiquette: http://www.roadid.com/RoadRules/ We’ll regroup at the top of the high school hill and then split into two groups. A fast paced group 16-18+ and a slower group 12-14MPH. Both groups have a leader. The fast group’s route is listed on MapMyRide.com: http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/33503611 the slower group will ride a mutually agreed upon route. Should have any questions or require additional information, please feel free to contact the shop: 914-478-2453 or info@hastingsvelo.com. Looking forward to seeing you.

This day of remembering takes us up Bear Mountain, then to West Point's west side and further north to the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge before we head down to Cold Spring again. If you are planning to stay for the post-ride BBQ by the waterside, please bring something to throw on the fire and a chair to rest in comfort. Arrive by 8:30 to leave at 8:45 as not to interfere with the parade.

In honor of the day, we will ride through this famous area of our region, rich with the efforts of our former patriots. Leader will point out interesting and significant sites along the way. We will stop at the center of the Bear Mt. Bridge for the "tossing of the wreath" to honor all our past countrymen for their sacrifices. After the invocation, we then head up the Torne to test our lungs. We will stop at the West Point Golf Course commissary for a refreshment and then head up to the overlook. It wouldn't be classic without the bar-b-que, so expect the grill at the end of the ride. Sausage and Peppers Mulberry Street style, Tony Roma's Ribs and a veggie burger here and there. This route does not go through the West Point installation. Option to avoid the Torne climb by following 9W to rt 218 to the Golf Course commissary available. Group will probably break up with faster riders being paced by Stormin' Norman, I'm sure I will end up at the rear. Pace has been 14-15.5 in the past. Sign Up For This Ride and please indicate if you are up for the bar-b-que. We had a wonderful time last year with everyone contributing to a feast at the end. I am touched by the generosity of all participants who really make this a true clebration, thanks. We will all be looking for Cheryl with her watermelons...again. IMPORTANT: Main St may be blocked for the parade at 9am in Cold Spring, so from rt 301 make a left at rt 9D, then right at Wall St, then left on Kemble, right on The Blvd, right on Forge Gate to Lunn Terrace then to Metro north parking lot over the RR bridge. If all that seems too hard, get there early and miss the street shutdown.

The whole enchilada! We ride up to Rt 35 and back on Rt 124. The hardest and best ride of the season. Back by dark, but bring a light. Ride leaves promptly. Sunset: 8:19pm.
