- Uncle Sam's Birthday Ride
Armonk, Bedford, Greenwich, Stamford, New Canaan and Pound Ridge. Some club favorites mixed in with a few you probably haven’t ridden. Baldwin early (mile 4), and the long but gradual ascent up Westover/Riverbank, but mostly flats and rollers plus a downhill on John St, with no uphill, near the end. First and only scheduled stop is at mile 30, Scotts Corner Market, which is confirmed open. Overall, should be a relaxed ride that will leave you with enough energy for your 4th of July activities, and Saturday’s Revolutionary Ride, and Sunday’s Independence Ride.
