Now that the temps are getting warmer and daylight is lasting longer, it’s even more enjoyable to get out to the park after work. Join us every week for hill repeats, pacelines, intervals, etc. Once in a while, we may even venture out of the park! Heavy rain cancels.

Join us for a fast paced, cooperative group ride, usually to Nyack (505 up, 9W back). There is often a slower group too. We have no silly requirements and you should know what cancels for you.

Let’s celebrate the fact that we’re freelancers! No 9 to 5 for us. Enjoy the company of other lucky souls every Wednesday on our low-key ride. We choose the route depending on time constraints and other factors, then grab a bite in one of these two destinations. We’re usually back on the New York side of the bridge by about 2.

Our mid-week spinning session is designed to keep us fit in between our weekend rides. We’ll do three laps around the park, learning good techniques and stressing safety. If you are new to the NYCC or would like to know what we’re about, this might be a good place to start. Bring a well-maintained bicycle and helmet (mandatory), blinking lights (suggested as we may be ending after dusk), and a lock and some pocket change (as we have been known to grab a bite and a beer afterwards on occasion). Lousy weather cancels.

A pre-4th of July ride around New York’s least populated borough. We’ll travel mostly low-traffic roads with a stop to eat lunch at the southern tip, Conference House Park (delis nearby). Other sites: Miller Field, great views from Fort Wadsworth, and suburban sprawl. If it’s hot out, plan for a dunk at South Beach. Hard rain cancels (check message board).

All riders going to West Point must meet at the Central Park entrance at 5th Ave./E. 72nd to drop off luggage for the luggage shuttle. This includes those who will take Metro North from GCT to Garrsion or Cold Spring. To enter the West Point grounds you must have a current government issued id (driver’s license, non-driver’s license or passport). Non-weekenders are welcome to join in these rides and return to NYC via Metro North; please bring a MNRR rail pass. There will be additional rides to West Point listed in the Email to registered participants and in the NYCC weekly email. Contact ewhite5@nyc.rr.com for more information.

A beautiful day trip for those who want it or a great start of the NYCC July 4th weekend at West Point for others, but a challenging ride for all: Skyline Drive and Seven Lakes Drive. Yes, there are flatter ways to get there. Bring: Metro North pass if you are not staying for the weekend for a Metro North return from Garrison. Note: current id needed to enter West Point.

The goal of this ride is to get to the watering holes in West Point ASAP! The first watering hole we’ll visit is the kind you swim in, i.e. the swimming quarry; the second is the type you sit down in front of and order drinks from! This will be a B route with B stops, but at a fast, comfortable pace (it’s a holiday, not a race). We plan to have a fast B and a slow B ride going the same route so that riders that wish to switch groups will be able to do so at the first rest stop. Note: Note: current ID needed to enter West Point, swimsuits optional.

 

 

A classic West Point ride with an added twist for this year. We’ll exit the Military Academy and head up 9W towards Storm King Mountain. At the summit we’ll catch our breath and take in the breath-taking views of the Hudson River (bring your camera). Then we’ll scream down the mountain and cross the river @ Newburgh. Heading south on scenic 9D we’ll have an opportunity, for those who wish, to visit Boscobel, a Federal period mansion with beautiful furnishings and grounds. Admission for the 45 minute tours is $10. Then lunch in Cold Spring, and back to the Thayer via the Bear Mountain Bridge.
