New Routes, New Roads, New Destinations
Since 2018, we have progressively redesigned the Escape New York routes to take you to some of the most beautiful destinations in the region.
While the biggest additions came on the longer 75 and 100 mile routes, riders will experience similar amazing beauty on the shorter distances as well.
Our 65 Mile Gravel / Dirt route was added and is back again for those who enjoy a style of riding that continues to grow in popularity.
In 2021 we added a 125 mile Double Metric Century (aka 200 kilometers) to appeal to those into Randonneuring.
For 2023, we are once again featuring our most popular routes.
And Harriman State Park (aka Lake Welch Beach) Is BACK!!!
6 Routes
Choice of 25 to 125 Miles
All Start & End at Sakura Park
Navigation files will be available close to ride date. We scout the route and adjust if there are issues on the road. Registered riders will receive updates on when to come back and download the routes for your GPS.
PLEASE NOTE THAT MAPS POSTED ARE FROM PRIOR YEARS AND WILL NOT BE UDPATED WITH THE NEW MAPS. THOSE WILL BE EMAILED TO REGISTRANTS ONLY IN THE WEEK BEFORE THE RIDE.

The Randonneur’s Special, 125 Miles
New since 2021!
100 miles not enough for you?
This adds 25 miles to our popular century ride making it a full fledged randonneur’s special.
While not officially a Randonneur’s ride when we launched, (it’s a thing, a few hoops you have to jump through to make it “official”) we’re happy to report that our sponsor New Jersey Randonneurs, did the necessary and it’s a “Permanent”. Whether you are into it “officially” or not, this ride should be appealing to those who regularly ride well over 100 miles on a given day for fun. You know who you are. A double-metric century.
And not to worry, if that’s not you - scroll down. ENY has rides from beginner through century pro.
Century Challenge, 100 Miles
Are you an experienced rider looking for a challenging ride? Climb nearly 6,000 feet while completing a full century through charming towns and beautiful countryside that takes you into and around New York’s beautiful Harriman State Park.
Dirty Spin, Gravel Metric Century
Are you more inclined to head off-road? For the gravel riders, the Dirty Spin is a 100-kilometer route that takes rolling back roads to get to Rockland County’s network of scenic unpaved multi-use trails.
Highlights include the wide dirt path under the trees through Tallman State Park, the Old Erie Path rail trail with beautiful views of the Hudson River below, and the Nyack Beach path, tracing the river’s edge below the cliffs of Hook Mountain. Three rest stops and several challenging climbs help make this a ride you’ll remember.
A gravel or cyclocross bike with at least 30mm-wide tires is strongly recommended for this ride. This is not a road bike route!
Rockland Roll, 75 Miles
Looking for a bit of a challenge? Gain over 4,000 feet of elevation as you wind your way uphill and down dale through 75 miles in scenic Rockland County.
Piermont Pleasures, 50 Miles
Do you prefer a “touring” approach to cycling? Enjoy the scenery on our half-century excursion to the historic village of Piermont on the Hudson.
Bergen Spin, 25 Miles
New to cycling? Is this your first time riding outside of the Hudson Greenway or Central Park? Expand your horizons as you amble through the leafy suburbs of Bergen County.
“This was my second century, both with ENY, and is not going to be the last one.”
“I enjoyed the entire day. Best part was finishing the Century and getting some gelato!”
