We will split into as many groups as necessary to accommodate all rides with multiple groups per speed if necessary. This is our annual all class ride, this year to Glen Island in New Rochelle. The club is providing lunch, all we need to do is show up and be social. This is a no-drop ride and there is no limit on the number of riders. We will start and end in Van Cortlandt Park. The starting location will be determined the Friday before the ride, based upon the weekend transit work!. Our route will take us to up the South County trail to Yonkers, where we will make our way over to Bronxville for a quick pitstop. From Bronxville we wind our way through the Westchester communities of Scarsdale and New Rochelle. We pass several house farms/stables and both Iona Prep and Iona College. After lunch, we ride through the Pelham section of Westchester until we cross back into the Bronx and follow the various greenways to make our way back to the start. There are two rest stops before we reach lunch at the park and none after. The rest stops provide an opportunity to switch to a faster or slower ride if our pace doesn't suit you. Just to remind you, the designated speed for a group is not an average. It is the cruising speed on level roads with no wind or impediments to normal road riding (e.g., rough road gravel etc,). We will go slower uphill or into the wind and somewhat faster downhill or pushed by a tailwind. We will also adapt the pace to keep everyone together. If you are unsure whether this is the correct pace for you, you can take the the self-test described on the About NYCC Rides page on our web site. There are table with timings for both Central and Prospect Parks. Just ride at your normal pace while doing the test. Logistics You should carry at least two bottles of fluid (or a hydration backpack) on the ride. You must also carry two tubes, and either a pump or a CO2 cartridges. Your bike must be in good working order. We will stop and help with mechanicals and flats within reason. If your mechnical can't be fixed on the road, you will need to either walk or take an Uber to a transit point. Ride with GPS Link: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/43602788.
