Friday, May 9

This hilly ride is suitable for C riders and up. There are several distance options. Choose a distance that will get you back before dark. Consider meeting for cocktails and dinner after rides.

Saturday, May 10

Let's go climbing...the May version of Steve's September vuelta with the option of a steeper finish
Yes, there will be hills. No, there won't be as many as on Steven Sun's rides. The first person to complain gets to lead next.
Classic Putnam Ride. We are going up to the White Pond. Hilly (elevation gain ~4200 feet) Leader target pace 15+- mph. Nobody dropped. I will lead from the back and regroup occasionally at the top of tough hills and strategic turns and intersections.
A true C ride . . . keeping the pace no faster than 12.5 average, hill-challenged riders welcome! We'll stop at Swann's Deli. This is a lovely ride combining roads and Trailway.

  • Titicus & Ridgefield, a WCC Classic Ride
A perennial club favorite, including the full loop around the Titicus Reservoir and up to Ridgefield on 116 (Titicus Rd/North Salem Rd). I led this twice last year, in April (20 people, 17.0 avg) and September (10 people, 16.7 avg). Route includes a nice climb on Titicus/116 coming out of Purdys, but as last year's averages indicate, not a hilly ride overall.
Come join me on this beautiful, rolling ride around several reservoirs. I plan to average around 13 mph and promise not to drop anyone who averages at least 12 mph. Continuous rain at the start of the ride - will result in cancellation.

About the Ride Schedule

The Ride Schedule is generated automatically from entries made by volunteer Ride Leaders using My WCC. The schedule is as up to date and accurate as the Ride Leaders who posted it. If you have any questions, use My WCC to contact the Ride Leader by e-mail or call them at the number listed on the schedule. You have to log in to My WCC to contact the Ride Leader by e-mail.

Start locations are not shown here unless you have logged in. If you are wondering where to meet up, login to My WCC and come back to this page again (the start location will magically appear). If you're not a member but want to ride with us you can join the ride by calling the Ride Leader before the ride for details -- where to meet and what to expect. Rides marked "Web Only" were posted after the newsletter publication date and do not appear in the newsletter.

Westchester Cycle Club grades ride pace using the following scale. If you are new to group riding, underestimate your ability until you have more experience riding with the club.
