Weather Update: please dress to stay WARM & DRY. Face masks, mittens, boots, wool socks, scarves are strongly recommended. Do you have a ski suit in the back of your closet? Have hand warmers, foot warmer packs? Chapstick? Bring them! Don’t forget to protect your face; better yet, wear a face mask and glasses to keep the wind at bay. We revised our speed estimate and will ride between 12-14mph. DRESS for WARMTH, not for speed. Weather forecast for Rockland Lake in AM is 19f.

Join us on scenic ride through the Palisades Interstate Park as we travel to the Pier on the Hudson in Piermont, followed by scenic Nyack, then some hills before Rockland Lake park. We may stop at PieRmont Bike shop. Bring snacks; we may not stop for lunch at Runcible Spoon until 3pm.

Palisades Interstate Park and Rockland Lake are very hilly. Road bikes are strongly suggested.

Helmets are always required. Mittens or Gloves are strongly recommended, along with two spares, pump or CO2, snacks, & a full water bottle. Lunch at Runcible Spoon.

We don't expect to ride north above 14mph, but we may return at that pace. We expect to ride Palisades Park at a slower pace, and we will have a break at the Courthouse. If you are unable or unwilling to ride to Nyack, we can re-connect with you in Piermont later on. Total miles: about 72 mi Elevation: 4827 ft. (We may cut out the Nyack segment due to weather, time, etcetera.)
