In week three everyone heads to Rockland Lake. We start by going up Knickerbocker Road, then go through Old Tappan (which is very quaint π₯), then we get on the Joseph B Clarke rail trail (π₯) and take that up to Blauvelt. Then up through West Nyack and then to Congers where we'll grab lunch at Steve's Prime Meats and then go over to Rockland Lake to eat.
Β
After lunch 83 mile riders head to the lovely South Mountain Road (π₯), then down to the posh Saddle River area (π₯) before heading back to Market Diner and back to the City via 9W.Β

Hi everyone,
Β
Ride start time has been changed to 8am given that it's a full day of riding.Β
Β
We will make the following stops (mile marker based on the above RWGPS file:
Mile 16.2: Noble Cafe - Sparkville, NY (just off the route)
Mile 44: D&D Deli - Nanuet, NY
Mile 68.6: 9W Market (just off the route)
Β
The first stop is only 16 miles in as I assume everyone will have done 5-10 miles to get to the route starting point.Β
Β
Important note:
I am now requiring affirmative assent that you intend to ride the ride. Please take a moment to drop a comment by Friday at 12pm saying you're still coming. If you're RSVPed but I don't see a comment then I will assume you're not coming. if no one confirms they're coming then the ride will be cancelled. This will allow me to adjust my weekend plans accordingly.Β
