Placeholder post!
This is the Panzera special so figuring he'll take the helm on scheduling.
We did 175 miles last year. 165 the year before. So let's do 200 this year.
Like before, this will be an exploration of the day, the terrain, and one's self.
People are welcome to come for part or all of the ride. We had a few different groups last year that hopped on the ride for anywhere from 65 to 125 miles of the whole enchilada.
The route will be planned to there are 2-3 loops around the Hudson River to facilitate people doing partial routes.

- 9AAll/152929.129.10Tour de Rockland Stage 1Bob Urtnowski
Tour de Rockland - Eastern Tier
A moderate rolling loop from Rockland Lake, featuring the climb on 9W and the descent into Nyack. Natural regroup at mile 10 at Piermont Pier, then continuing south briefly before turning north on the Clark Rail Trail. The return climbs Strawtown Road to Lake DeForest and rolls back through Congers to Rockland Lake.
At 29 miles and ~1,400 ft of elevation (~48 ft/mi), this route balances steady effort with plenty of flat sections to recover...or push the pace.
This ride is being posted as an all-ride, with the expectation that the group may naturally split into A / B / C pace groups along the way. Regroups are built into the route. If anyone is willing to help ride-lead or sweep a pace group, please reach out: rbcboard@rocklandbicyclingclub.org

- 9:30AAll/145353.153.10New Paltz for LunchDavid Booth
This is an elongated 50 mile lollypop on (mostly) quiet Orange County Roads taking us to New Paltz and back. We'll grab lunch just outside New Paltz at the Wallkill View Farm Market. Picnic tables provided. The market provides fruit, pastries, drinks and other light items. If you'd like a sandwich or something on the substantial side, well then pack it, Dear Liza, pack it. This is one of my favorite summer morning rides.

Tour de Rockland - Central Tier
A loop starting from Kennedy Dells that heads north to South Mountain Road, setting up a long downhill from Route 304, down Kings Hwy to the bottom of Lake DeForest. The route weaves a figure-eight pattern, with the northbound return beginning at the southern end of the Clark Rail Trail and climbing Strawtown Road. If you're new to road riding in Rockland, this route covers sections you'll see on nearly every club ride.
At 32 miles and ~1200 ft of elevation (~38 ft/mi), this route is quite possibly the flattest route in Rockland County. It's got to be because of that little dip into Jersey.
This ride is being posted as an all-ride, with the expectation that the group may naturally split into A / B / C pace groups along the way. Regroups are built into the route. If anyone is willing to help ride-lead or sweep a pace group, please reach out: rbcboard@rocklandbicyclingclub.org

Tour de Rockland - Bradley Hill
A loop starting from Memorial Park in Nyack and tests your climbing prowess.
At 42 miles and ~2,700 ft of elevation (~64 ft/mi), this route is climb-heavy. Up and out of Nyack with two distinct efforts on 9W, then turns west to ascend South Mountain Road before a well-earned rest stop at the Orchards around mile 14. The terrain continues to roll from there. A flatter stretch through New City offers relief before finishing with the climb up Bradley Hill and a descent back into Nyack.

Come do the D2R2 gravel event.
It's a great event and the money goes to a good cause
Here's the website:
https://d2r2.franklinlandtrust.org
Campsites can be reserved so the weekend can be made of it.
I'm not sure whether I'll camp or stay with friends.
If 1 or 2 folks wanna go, we can car pool and I might have room for them in my tent or whoever I'm staying with.
There are a lot of different lengths. Do whatever works for you.
Hit me up a month or two beforehand so we can plan.
I did the 65 mile routelast year. It was a blast.

Tour de Rockland - Harriman
All rides should start in Harriman because it's beautiful
At 35 miles and ~2,700 ft of elevation (~77 ft/mi), this route sits firmly in Z3 all day. The warm-up is Seven Lakes Drive, followed by sustained climbing throughout. You'll descend into Tiorati only to climb back out, roll briefly downhill to Kanawauke, then climb again, earning the reward of the long, flowy Kanawauke descent. After exiting the park toward Long Meadow Road, there's a bit more grinding before literally, downhill all the way home. The payoff for all that climbing is minimal traffic for the full 35 miles and outstanding scenery.
Regroup points with water and bathrooms are available throughout, however food options are limited, so plan to carry enough fuel.
This ride is being posted as an all-ride, with the expectation that the group may naturally split into A / B / C pace groups along the way. Regroups are built into the route. If anyone is willing to help ride-lead or sweep a pace group, please reach out: rbcboard@rocklandbicyclingclub.org

Tour de Rockland - Perkins
Oh boy…
At 37 miles and ~2,800 ft of elevation (~76 ft/mi), this ride looks bigger than it really is. Bear Mountain does the heavy lifting, about 4 miles and roughly 1,200 ft of gain. Strip that out, and the remaining mileage averages closer to ~49 ft per mile, which should feel familiar by this point.
Yes, Mott Farm and Gate Hill still come after Perkins and they count but once those are behind you, the route drops back toward Haverstraw and the discomfort fades quickly.
Regroup at mile 14 at the top of Bear, because that's just how it's done.
This ride is being posted as an all-ride, with the expectation that the group may naturally split into A / B / C pace groups along the way. Regroups are built into the route. If anyone is willing to help ride-lead or sweep a pace group, please reach out: rbcboard@rocklandbicyclingclub.org

Tour de Rockland - Harriman Part 2
Did you know you can ride into Harriman? Of course you do but Willow Grove usually keeps it off the list.
At 40 miles and ~3,000 ft of elevation (~75 ft/mi), this route includes two long, grinding climbs. Both are shorter than Bear Mountain, so perspective helps. Willow Grove has one truly hard section, and if Stage 4 is already in the legs, the Tiorati pacing should feel familiar. The descent back down Willow Grove is fast, and the final 10 miles trend downhill, making for a forgiving finish.
Regroups will make sense at mile 10, and again around mile 18. Like stage 4, food stops are limited so pack your pockets.
This ride is being posted as an all-ride, with the expectation that the group may naturally split into A / B / C pace groups along the way. Regroups are built into the route. If anyone is willing to help ride-lead or sweep a pace group, please reach out: rbcboard@rocklandbicyclingclub.org
