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 13-15 mph. DRESS for WARMTH, not for speed.

Join us on scenic ride through the Palisades Interstate Park as we travel to the Pier on the Hudson in Piermont, followed by Hook Mountain State Park in Nyack. We may stop at Piermont Bicycle Connection.

Palisades Interstate Park is 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..

We don't expect to ride north above 15mph, but we may return at that pace. We will likely meander through Palisades Park. If you are unable or unwilling to ride to Nyack, we can re-connect with you in Piermont later on. Miles: 64.7 mi Elevation: 2500 ft. (We may cut out the Nyack segment due to weather, time, etcetera.)

If you have any questions about this ride, please email me before the ride day by 7pm or text me anytime: 9175013095. We will meet next to the drinking fountain at the northern end of Chelsea Piers by 23rd st near the public restrooms. (If you arrive very early, please warm up inside, near the bathrooms.)

If you wish to join this ride Uptown, or on NJ side of GWB, please contact the leaders ahead of time.
