Rockland Lake Loop

Saturday, July 16, 2022 - 09:30

We have reached back into the 5bbc archives to resurrect a favorite ride from the past.  We will travel north from the GW Bridge to beautiful Rockland Lake, hitting Nyack and Piermont on the way back.  WE WILL NOT BE RIDING ON 9W.

This is listed as a Quick Spin Lite ride, so you must be able to maintain 15 mph on flat terrain.  On hills, we will go at our own pace and regroup at the top.  This is a 56 mile ride with 2,600 feet of elevation according to RWGPS.  There is a 1.6 mile stretch of hard pack in Hook Mountain State Park along the Hudson waterfront.

There will likely be a snack/restroom break at a Dunkin Donuts in Orangeburg, between miles 17 and 18.  Lunch will be available for purchase in Nyack between miles 32 and 33.  Please bring plenty of snacks to keep you fortified during the ride.

Bring two water bottles, sunscreen and spare tubes.
