If you want to explore some more NY State park land, you’ll love this one. Ride the same route as the 50-mile, but you’ll add in a loop up through Rockleigh before approaching the rest stop to take a breather with fellow riders. Then you’ll continue along with the 50-mile riders but head even further north to Congers, NY and into stunning Rockland Lake State Park. The lake is gorgeous and is a great place to take some photos or just pause by the water. Then you will continue south and meet up again with the 50-mile route, heading down the rail trail and back to the rest stop before continuing south back to Riverbank State Park in Manhattan.

Pride Ride 80
If you’re feeling ambitious and energetic, you will enjoy this ride. This route follows along with the 65-mile ride, but adds a diversion to the west into Saddle River to take in some very posh homes there and into Upper Saddle River. Then you’ll head back east to West Nyack and continue on to Rockland Lake Park. This route will take you along the pathway that runs along the east edge of the lake before rejoining the 50-mile route back south through the car-free Joseph B Clarke rail trail to the rest stop. You’ll have the chance to meet up with riders from all the routes and share the route back south over the George Washington Bridge into Manhattan.
