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 12-15mph. 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 Bike shop.

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 14mph, 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 (We may cut out the Nyack segment due to weather, time, etcetera.)

We will meet on the West side of Manhattan. You must register and you will be contacted the day before the ride about the start location, ridewithgps file.

If you wish to join this ride on NJ side of GWB, please register and contact the leader ahead of time.
