Our host for this adventure-filled weekend is rustic Camp Thendara, a 90-year-old mountaintop lodge on Lake Tiorati in Harriman State Park. Cyclists will do 50 hilly miles from midtown Manhattan on Saturday, going “self-contained,” meaning we’ll carry all our gear on our bikes. A rear rack and panniers to carry your gear are required. Sunday offers a variety of options: swimming, boating, hiking, biking in the park, or just relaxing. Two home-cooked breakfasts, two dinners and two trail lunches are all included in the price. Guests at Camp Thendara prepare their meals together and perform light clean-up chores. On Monday, we will bike home via a different route, with plenty of quiet back roads. 

All participants must be 5BBC members.

Early-Bird Price: $155 through April 30. Standard Price: $175 . Price includes breakfasts and dinners at the hostel, which we will prepare ourselves, plus one trail meal. A rear rack and panniers to carry your gear are required. Please note that we do not have SAG vehicles or an easy non-cycling return. Cyclists will need to bring adequate rain gear.
