Spring Fling - Multi level rides Sat, April 26 in Rosendale

Rain date - Sun, April 27 in Wallkill

Catered Lunch. If you are able please bring a salad or dessert to share.

Join us for a ride to remember John Ward and all he did for the club and cycling. He spent many days riding with new riders out of Freedom Park on the Monday/Wednesday evening rides. He was always willing to help new riders become better riders. What better way to remember him than doing one of his favorite routes. Led at 11- 13 mph pace. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46128400

The small pavilion at Freedom Park has been reserved for this event. Please bring a picnic lunch so we can hang out and socialize after the ride. The club will provide some drinks and healthy snacks.
