Where we meet

We meet at Strictly Bicycles 2347 Hudson Terrace, Fort Lee, NJ 07024 – (201) 944-7074. Parking is available along Hudson Terrace.

Where we ride

The group rides are social rides, not races. The main goal is to get out and on the bike together. This is especially true in winter where we keep the rides short and grab a coffee at half way.

Group A rides to Nyack and back which is about 40 miles.

Group B rides to Piermont or Nyack and back which is 30 or 40 miles.

Group C rides to Piermont and back which is about 30 miles.

Once the weather gets warmer, ride length will increase in the weeks and months leading up to Gran Fondo New York and will cover parts of the race course, including the timed climbs.
