- 5:30PA/204848.048.00Tuesday Night Training Ride*Ilona MillerThe classic Rt 137 Steps loop around Bedford, the real deal. Save something for Rt 22 on the way back. Back by dark, but bring a light. Ride leaves promptly. Sunset: 7:50pm *Unaffiliated Ride
Start: Waller Ave. Parking Lot, White Plains - 9AB/166059.559.50Sandy Hook to WaramaugKen Johnsson
Here's a route some of you have asked about. It has a mixture of some climbs with some great stretches of road for fast pace lining. Most (not all) of the climbing is in the first third of the ride. No drop, we'll regroup when necessary. Rest stop will be at mile 32, New Preston, just after we circle Lake Waramaug.
- 10AC+/14.26665.765.70Amenia to Copake Falls 65Larry Koved
A fairly easy Harlem Valley ride for going the distance. For those of you who have gone on my historic Harlem Valley rides, this will feel very familiar. There are few big hills. My usual route has been extended to 65 miles by starting in Amenia and riding north through Copake and south through historic Wassaic. As is typical for my Harlem Valley rides, we stick together since there is minimal / no cellular phone service in most places.
NO DROPPING THE LEADER.
Make sure your bikes are in good mechanical condition for a long ride, bring spare tubes, or whatever you might need. Bio break in Millerton (both directions) and Copake Falls. Possible breaks in Copake (mile 23.5), Millerton (mile 45.5), and perhaps Wassaic. So bring enough hydration / snacks. The deli in Copake Falls may no longer be open. (Doesn't answer the phone.) Facilities at the state park at Copake Falls along the rail trail should be open (including water). Otherwise there are very few services along this route.
Please bring a cue sheet and/or RWG with you! In spite of what RWG shows, the entire ride is on paved surfaces.
Consider staying for post ride pizza respite afterwards in Dover Plains before heading home.
Ride may be rescheduled if chance of rain is 20% or greater or the roads probably wet.
- 9AC/133837.537.50Glenville to GPP for SeniorsDiana Klingner
This is a lovely ride to Tod's Point. If you are over 65 I can get a limited number of free passes. If the younger set wants to join they can pay $10 for a pass. Send me a message for further instructions.
WE WILL STAY AS A GROUP SUPPORTING EACH OTHER AND STAYING SAFE. We will stop at the first consession for a break rather than in town.
Please ARRIVE 15 MINUTES early with your bike ready to roll with your tools, tires, hydration and nutrition. Bad weather cancels.

- 5:30PAll/52424.024.00SUNY Fling ride - OverviewLeaderlessLeaderless
The WCC has a long standing tradition of Wednesday evening multi-level rides leaving out of the SUNY Purchase W1 parking lot, near the West Lawn (ball fields).
Slower ride paces have a ride leader when a leader is available. The faster rides are self-organizing "Leaderless" rides.
The departure time varies by ride level so that, regardless of your riding pace, we all meet up at the end of the ride at roughly the same time. We typically hang out in the parking lot for a while, meeting and chatting with folks from other ride levels you typically would not otherwise see. A great way to build esprit de corps.
A suggested route is listed for each ride level. Have it loaded on your device, if you need it.
Please follow the usual bike safety and road rules.
Considering the time of day and car traffic, front and rear lights are recommended for better visibility.
An optional post-ride dinner at The Griff or Cobblestone is for those who are interested. Dinner plans are also self-organizing with your fellow riders.
If you would like to leave at a different time, or ride at a different pace, feel free to post your own ride.
Enjoy the ride!
- 5:30PB/172524.624.60SUNY Fling ride - B and aboveOrrie Dinstein
Posting this for the fast group for our usual fling. Open to all riders level B and above.
As it's starting to get darker I moved our start time to 5:30 - make sure to plan your arrival accordingly (this is not for those who come an hour early to warm up, this is for those who arrive a minute before the start - you know who you are!).
As those who have done this ride before know, the group tends to split up into several subgroups with varying paces ranging from 17-20+.
If you've never done this ride before please reach out to me to understand what to expect.
Sometimes the group sticks around for a post-ride dinner. Feel free to join!
- 5:30PC+/152524.624.60SUNY Fling ride - C/C+Hedrick Sy

- 8:45AD/92322.622.60Scenic Ossining-Haverstraw-Nyack-Ossining RideGeorge Klein
While this is a D ride, there is some gravel on the trail from Haverstraw to Nyack.Catch gorgeous views of the Hudson from its west bank, and see some palisades, up close and personal!
THE LINK "Dir to start" IS WRONG, AS IT TAKES YOU TO HAVERSTRAW. INSTEAD, GO TO THE OSSINING METRO NORTH RAILROAD STATION.
Parking Leave time for parking if you're not familiar with the Ossining Metro North station. Pay for parking at the station, or park free in downtown Ossining on Spring St south of Broad Ave., and ride about half a mile down to station.
Meeting location is the ferry pier, marked by a huge 42 ft gray arch visible on the west side of the station. The arch is in back of the restaurant, 3 Westerly Rd. We take the 8:57am commuter ferry west across the Hudson to Haverstraw. It costs $4.50, $2.50 for seniors. You need to pay for the ferry via the app NY Waterway. But I have the app and can pay, you reimburse me.
We debark in Haverstraw, then ride south along the west side of the Hudson on the mixed paved/dirt/hardpack/gravel path (you have to pay attention, not go too fast on the downhills and on the gravel) about 6 miles along the river through quaint Dutchtown (quirky homes, sculpture) to Nyack Beach State Park, viewing Croton Point as we go. Then we ride south on Broadway to Nyack, where we grab a bite and a pit stop.
Then south to the bridge formerly known as the Tappan Zee Bridge, ride east across the Hudson, and wend our way north to Ossining via Sleepy Hollow and Pocantico Hills to avoid busy Rt 9. There is an unavoidable busy mile on Rt 9. There are some hills on this part of the ride.My cell phone is 914-772-3916. The 2 hours 39 minutes on rwgps does not count the ferry and pit stop time. Bring water.
Note that the ridewithgps route starts on the pier in Haverstraw, but we actually meet and start at the ferry pier in Ossining, just west of the Ossining Metro North station.
- Saturday, August 22, 2026
- 10AC+/13.75453.553.50Dutchess on a nice day: Amenia - Millerton - Pine PlainsLarry Koved
Scenic roads, beautiful horse farms, and historic villages. Note that the latter part of the ride has 16 miles of rolling hills. Climbing in this section is about 77 ft per mile. So the first 35 miles will be a bit faster than the ride average.
We'll ride as a group. There isn't any cell phone service in most of the areas we will be riding.The break will be in Pine Plains (mile 38+). Short stops elsewhere if needed. Bring the usual - snacks/hydration, spare inner tubes, positive attitude, good spirits, etc. Please arrive before 9:45; safety talk at 9:55. AIS 10 am.
No dropping the ride leader!
Post-ride pizza in Dover Plains?
- 8:30AC/13.54747.347.30Mamaroneck to Banksville to Climb HillsAaron Pinero
We will meet at the Mamaroneck MetroNorth Station parking lot (NYC-bound side) and ride to Glenville, up Riversville, past Armonk, up Baldwin, and then almost to Bedford before turning south to stop at Happiness Is on the way back. RWGPS says 2700 feet of climbing which means probably about 3000, or more than 60ft per mile. Roughly two thirds of that is before the rest stop.
So join me for a lovely Saturday morning on the bike. Let's be ready by 8:15 with our well-maintained bikes, hydration, and nutrition so we can roll right at 9:30am. Hope to see you then!

Are you new to Westchester Cycle Club? This ride is for you. We will provide an introduction to safe riding and expected practices on WCC group rides, then break into groups by level of speed and experience. You can expect to learn how WCC rides work and which level ride you might choose for your first regular club ride.
Anyone who can ride a few miles on their bike is welcome--depending on the number of ride leaders, we'll break up into groups at different distances, so you do not necessarily have to ride 15 miles. Please come with a bicycle in reasonably good repair with air in the tires, a helmet (required), a water bottle, and comfortable clothes for riding. Please arrive at least 15 minutes early to gear up and sign in. We will meet in lot "West 1" on the SUNY Purchase College campus. Look for the cluster of cars with bicycles.
Advanced Signup is mandatory.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me directly.
If you're an existing ride leader interested in helping out, please sign up as I'll need help

Although the ride is free and open to everyone, they hope you'll raise or contribute money to benefit the Harlem Valley Rail Trail. Your contributions will help support, maintain and extend this beautiful public trail from Copake and Hillsdale, NY northward.
The Roe Jan area features quiet country roads dotted with idyllic views of farms and mountains. Comprising the towns of southeastern Columbia County, NY, it's a beautiful rural setting nestled between the Taconic Mountains and the Hudson River. Just two hours north of New York City and two & one-half hours west of Boston, this area offers some of the best cycling anywhere.
All rides begin and end in Copake Memorial Park, 305 Mountain View Road, Copake, NY 12516. All routes are on paved, lightly traveled public roads or portions of the rail trail winding through lovely farmland, rolling hills and the picturesque hamlets of the Roe Jan Area in Columbia County, NY.
Riding through Columbia county is beautiful. It's about 1-2 hours north of Westchester, depending on where you live. Well worth the drive. There is also local lodging options listed on the web site, including camping.
The 2026 routes will be published in early September. Start time vary based on the route distance that you choose.
2025 routes are available on the web site.

- 9AC/13.25150.550.50Cape Ann sightseeing tour (Day 1 of 2)Larry Koved
Enjoy the sights of picturesque Cape Ann, Massachusetts. We will be riding along the southern coast, visiting villages such as Manchester-by-the-Sea, Gloucester and Rockport (or beyond!). The departure is a location in Gloucester along our main route.
At the west end of the ride is David S. Lynch Memorial Park, where we'll be able to see Salem, MA across the Rams Horn Channel on the Danvers River. The park is situated on a point with views of the Atlantic Ocean to the East and Woodbury Cove to the west. At one time U.S. President William Howard Taft summered on the property. The site of his summer residence is now an elaborate Italianate Garden with a tea house. The Park also boasts a Carriage House.
On the east end of the ride is the quaint village of Rockport. Along the way we will see beautiful and historic homes, castles, scenic beaches, and seaport villages.
The tentative RWG link is posted based on the route I used last year. There are lots of ways to cut the distance if going out to Rockport is too far for you. This is an easy ride, with most of the ride near sea level. No big / long hills. Easier than a typical WCC C ride.
Here are a few pictures from last year. If we're lucky, we might get some moderate fall foliage as well.
No official lodging location is planned. Contact me if you would like suggestions of a (somewhat) reasonably priced place along or near the route.

Leaving from the David Lynch Memorial park in Beverly, MA, cruise the streets of historic Salem, MA. Maybe we'll get to feel the Halloween vibe. Then head south to the Marblehead and cruise around the peninsula, along the coastline where we can. Take in the autumn sights, beautiful and historic homes, harbors and beaches. It's a relatively short ride, with time for lunch, and hopefully be able to hit the road before rush hour traffic.

We ride through many historic fishing villages in Marblehead, as well as the historic fishing village of Salem.
The route is very flat.

We will provide an introduction to safe riding and expected practices on WCC group rides, then break into groups by level of speed and experience. You can expect to learn how WCC rides work and which level ride you might choose for your first regular club ride.
Anyone who can ride a few miles on their bike is welcome--depending on the number of ride leaders, we'll break up into groups at different distances, so you do not necessarily have to ride 15 miles. Please come with a bicycle in reasonably good repair with air in the tires, a helmet (required), a water bottle, and comfortable clothes for riding. Please arrive at least 15 minutes early to gear up and sign in. We will meet in lot "West 1" on the SUNY Purchase College campus. Look for the cluster of cars with bicycles.
Advanced Signup is mandatory.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me directly.
If you're an existing ride leader interested in helping out, please sign up as I'll need help

I did this a couple years ago and it was a blast. Great roads. Great beers at the finish, from S & S Farm Brewery. If you've done Farmer's Daughter, the brewery is the first rest stop on that ride.
