H. Valley Leaf Peeping & Jacuzzi Steeping
45
Saturday, October 4, 2025
Looking for a weekend ride that feels like a getaway?
Escape the city and join us for a stunning 45-mile loop through the mid-Hudson Valley—rolling from Beacon through Poughkeepsie (and the Walkway Over the Hudson), through the Marlboro hills and across the Newburgh-Beacon bridge, with plenty of fresh air, rolling hills, river views, leaf peeping, apple orchards, vineyards, and more.
We’ll also stop for—you guessed it—a hot tub & chill break, in a private yard looking out at gardens, Mount Beacon & the Hudson River. That’s right: before boarding the train, we'll hit pause to soak, relax, and refresh. So don’t forget your swimsuit (or not, we don't care)! (Towels provided)
What to Bring:
-
Helmet, water, snacks
- Swimsuit if you wish
-
Money for food/coffee
-
Sunscreen & a flat kit/spare tube
-
Positive energy and your best banter
🌈 All are welcome — however, beginners may find this ride length and a few of the hills to be challenging. This is an ideal ride for intermediate and advanced riders

The description says that this ride may be challenging for beginner. Can you please clarify what makes it challenging.

Hi Chrstian, thanks for your question! At 45 miles, the ride is kind of long and the second half can get a little hilly - but I wouldn't discourage you if you've been riding this season and are interested! :) I did my first 50 mile ride with OutCycling after riding a few 20 milers; though it pushed me, I enjoyed it very much!

Hi everyone! I'm very much looking forward to our ride this weekend!
Stephen, thanks for the question about the Ride w/ GPS route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/45427364
It might be helpful to create a WhatsApp group. Maybe message me directly and I can create? I'm on 646.729.5449.
Thanks, looking forward!

Thanks Christian! I'm a bit of a tech dinosaur. The only way I know to create a WhatsApp list is for folks to message me (which folks are doing - TY!).
My cell/WhatsApp: 646.729.5449
Thanks again!
