MPBC Ride Leaders post official club rides to this calendar on a weekly basis throughout the year. To sign up for a ride, please provide the leader your mobile number and emergency contact using the email and/or phone number listed in the posting. Riders must be MPBC club members to attend a posted or a Show & Go ride but we are allowing one free ride for potential members. If you would like to join MBPC you can do so by using our online form found here.
Typical rides are held (Tue/Thu/Sat/Sun & Holidays) at 8:30 am in the warmer months and 9 am in the cooler months. Ride times do vary, so please check our ride calendar for actual start times.

Bear Mtn – Elevation Party
333 South Broadway, Tarrytown NY to
Hilly
3 rest stops
1. Cove Deli (mile 19)
2. Top of Bear Mtn (mile 31)
3. Mountain View Deli (mile 54)
You are all invited to the Elevation Party with the A/A+ group up Bear Mountain.
We’ll start at the base of the Bridge, then cruise the bike path through Nyack and Haverstraw. We’ll skim 9W just enough to feel dangerous, stop at Cove Deli, and immediately betray our legs by climbing Buckberg Mountain “for fun.”
From there we hit the scenic Jones Point Rail Trail before the climb up Bear Mountain. Bring your climbing legs and whatever dignity you’re willing to lose on the way down.
After a summit breather, we’ll descend and take pretty back roads (avoiding 9W like it owes us money). Final snack coffee stop at the mile 54 deli before crawling back to our cars tired but happy humans.
