Schedule

Please arrive during your start window in the Morning outline below
Arrive outside it and you gave up sleep to wait in a socially distant line - no fun :(

Afternoon

When back from riding, Sakura comes alive with our familiar Finish Festival.

We’ve gone picnic-style with a new “picnic blanket” giveaway for you to sit on and take home. They will be available to “try” at select rest stops along the way.

Enjoy quality food from our familiar food truck caterer serving faster, larger, tastier portions which you can take away or eat picnic-style with the friends with whom you enjoyed riding.

Live music will be playing from the gazebo.

Last Meal Served at 5:30pm and Park closes at 6:00pm

Pit Stops for food along the way

In order to keep social distance at “pit stops” this year (replacing rest stops from prior years), we’re planning to manage them with a “grab and go, socially distant” style of service with bottled hydration and small packaged food items.

Pit Stop Locations are:

  • Piermont (20 miles in to the ride)

  • Nyack State park for the gravel (about halfway mark),

  • Orchards (37 miles out and a second time for each of the 100 and 125 mile Routes at miles 62 and 87 respectively),

  • Harriman State Park (Lake Welch Beach - BACK For 100 and 125 miles)

  • Montvale (at miles 51 on the 75, 76 on the 100 and 101 on the 125)

  • Tenafly (at miles 13 on the 25, 38 on the 50, 49 on the Gravel, 62 on the 75, 87 on the Century and 112 on the Double Metric Century or 125)

VERY IMPORTANT - Pit Stop Location Opening and Closing times

  • We’d like everyone to make it back in time to enjoy your meal at Sakura

  • Last meal service is at 5:30pm. If you are flagging, consider doing a shorter distance - especially if the SWEEP Truck is on your tail

    • Piermont opens at 6:30am and closes at 1:00pm

    • Nyack State Park (Dirt only) opens at 8:30am and closes at 12:30pm

    • Orchards opens at 7:00am and closes at 3:00pm

    • Harriman (Lake Welch Beach) opens at 7:45am and closes at 2:00pm

    • Montvale opens at 9:30am and closes at 3:30pm

    • Tenafly opens at 10:30am and closes at 4:00pm

Along The Route

Bike Repair

There will be mechanical support, SAG support, and we’re partnering with local bike shops to offer you more places to stop in and get repairs if necessary with good proximity to our pit stops.

Marshals

The ride has historically had a high quality and generous approach to ride support. This year we are shifting our focus to more escorted ride leaders and Mechanical Marshal/Sweeps. Each ride will have two Marshals bringing up the back of the segment - helping laggards decide how to accelerate (eg. use SAG to move you forward if slowed by a mechanical) and finish the ride in time to enjoy your meal and the finish festival.

SAG (Support and Gear)

More drivers this year! In the event you are unable to ride because of mechanical issues, our volunteer drivers will be available to transport you and your bike to one of our rest stops, which will have bike repair services.

Post-Ride Food

After completing your ride, celebrate your accomplishment with packaged lunches - there will be many menu choices including vegetarian options!

Toilets

The routes pass many bathrooms along the way. Piermont has several bathroom options - a porta sans on the way into town, Town Hall is open with mens and woman’s and our rest stop is near Piermont bikes that has one too. Montvale has a wonderful Wegman’s, with bathrooms and we are welcome. We have additional portable restrooms added at Sakura (5), Orchards (3), and Tenafly (3). Our partners for food along the way also welcome you to use their facilities if necessary.

“I did ENY last year as well as this year (65 mile course). I couldn’t pick a favorite section; I really enjoy the whole Palisades area for cycling.”
“This was my first ENY and it was the longest ride I’d ever ridden. I’ll be doing it again. I don’t think you could do much better, it was really well run.”
