June Tailgate Party
Saturday, June 9
By Deborah Ramsey - updated 5/11/12
Get out your grills and whip up your favorite summertime dishes and bring them to the Hillside Church in Armonk, just up the hill from the intersection of Route 22 and Cox Avenue. In true tailgate style, we will all be bringing food to share after rides, as well as beer and wine or whatever libation suits your fancy. Just bring enough for six people. Matt Turner, pastor at this church, is an avid cyclist and triathlete and is very excited about hosting some of our events. So sign up and let's party! And don't worry, there is plenty of parking. {Attention Leaders: Please contact Ride Chair, Victor Urvantsev, to volunteer to lead any of the Tailgate rides}
Welcome to the Westchester Cycle Club website! We've been riding together since 1975 and are a not-for-profit organization in Westchester County, New York. Our purpose is to educate the general public about safety and the benefits of bicycle riding, to promote community awareness and enjoyment of cycling through organized bicycling events, tours, lectures, demonstrations and other bicycling activities for members as well as for the general public, and to promote bicycle use, and development of cycling facilities as a non-polluting, non-congesting, quiet means of recreation and transportation. We have been designated the top bicycling club in the country in 2011 by the League of American Bicyclists.
We're open to everyone—not just Westchester residents, not just inveterate cyclists—and we'd love you to join us. A $20 annual membership provides you and your family with a variety of rides; beginner or expert, you'll find something just right. Our Orientation Ride will help you find just the right paced group for you. We offer lots of member-led rides throughout the entire county as well as Putnam and Duchess and Fairfied (Ct) counties. Rides are scheduled on weekends as well as many weekdays and evenings and wind their way through some of the Lower Hudson Valley's most scenic areas. We also schedule multi paced rides once a month with food, drink and camaraderie afterward. The highlight of the year is our renowned GOLDEN APPLE TOUR- a fully supported event with routes from 25 to 100 miles. For a more complete picture of what the WCC is all about, read our More Info page.
If you're a new member, make yourself welcome by taking a peek at the sage advice of our new members committee. You can find lots of information on our Link-o-Rama page or join an informal chat group on Yahoo. Please treat yourself to one of our immediate benefits: member discounts at a many Westchester bike shops!
I look forward to riding with you!
