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.

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.

| Notes: This ride starts at 10:00 AM from the Hopewell Depot Museum,36 Railroad Ave, Hopewell Junction, NY. I will be riding a C+ pace; however, you can go at your own pace. This 30-mile route goes to the Walkway Across the Hudson. The trail is generally flat with a 625’ climb. Food/snack break at the bridge; however, availability of food for purchase is uncertain – plan accordingly. If the Hopewell Junction parking lot is full, go to the auxiliary lot just to the west. Restrooms are available at start point, at the walkway, and at various points along the path. No go in rain. Please RSVP by Friday Oct. 16. | ||
