  Bronx River Trail Ride: Scenic, Shaded & Smooth

  Looking for the perfect escape from the city heat and traffic? Join us for a beautiful, refreshing cruise along the Bronx River Trail to Brewster.

  This ride is a true local treasure, taking us entirely along a dedicated bike path under the deep, cool cover of gorgeous overhanging trees. It is the perfect route to spin the legs, enjoy the nature right in our backyard, and take in a peaceful, scenic morning on two wheels. 

  Schedule & Launch Pad

  • Meet Up: 7:30 AM

  • Wheels Down: 8:00 AM (Sharp!)

  • Meeting Location: Van Cortlandt Park (at the trail entrance)

  • The Terrain: Smooth, paved bike path riding.

  • The Vibe: Relaxed and scenic. Because we're tucked away under the tree canopy, it's a fantastic way to log some miles while staying out of the direct sun.

  Whether you're looking to kick off your weekend with a steady spin or just want to enjoy a beautiful path with great company, this is the ride for you. Clean up your rigs, pump up your tires, and we’ll see you at the Van Cortlandt Park trail entrance!

  Frankie’s Delight: The Port Jefferson Edition

  It’s an annual tradition, but this year Frank is turning it up a notch! Get ready for a massive, scenic day in the saddle as the annual Frankie’s Delight Ride sets its sights on Port Jefferson.

  This is going to be an incredible, milestone distance day, but it requires serious legs and steady endurance to get the job done right.

  The Logistics

  • The Distance: 95 miles round trip

  • Meet Up: 7:00 AM

  • Location: The Triangle (254 Street & Horace Harding Expressway or use Nassau Mall South)

  ⚠️ Pace, Fitness & Ride Rules

  Frank wants this to be a true "no drop" ride, meaning the group stays together and we ensure everyone gets across the finish line safely. However, a 95-mile journey requires a steady, consistent pace to ensure we aren't out all day.

  Because of this, we need everyone to be completely honest with themselves before lining up:

  • Know Your Fitness: You must be able to comfortably sustain a steady paceline speed over a long distance.

  • Check Your Base Mileage: If you haven’t put the long-distance miles into your legs yet this season, reconsider this particular ride and catch us on the next one! 

  What to Bring

  • Fully dialed-in bike (check your shifting and brakes!).

  • At least 2 water bottles and your choice of on-the-bike nutrition.

  • Two spare tubes, a pump/CO2, and tools to fix your own flats.

  • Pocket money/cards for our rest and refueling stops along the way.

  It’s going to be an epic day on the road to Port Jeff. If you've got the miles in your legs, stretch out, fuel up, and we'll see you at the Triangle at 7:00 AM sharp!
