About this event

UPDATED MEET TIME: Meeting 7:00am, Wheels 7:30am.Join the Major Taylor Iron Riders for our annual Bear Mountain Ride, a club favorite that delivers both challenge and reward. This ~80-mile A-level ride rolls along scenic 9W before tackling rolling hills and punchy climbs, culminating in the iconic ascent up Perkins with sweeping views of the Hudson Valley. Come prepared with your own pocket food, hydration, and a well-stocked saddle bag. After conquering the climb, refuel with a satisfying lunch. (NOTE: Lunch will be served after you after you descend from Bear Mountain, at The Cove Deli) Vegan and vegetarian options will be available. This is a fast ride along 9W, with SAG support. We’re also excited to welcome Best Buddies as this year’s sponsor! They will be sharing information about the organization, the work they do AND their upcoming rides. Best Buddies is an inspiring organization, like MTIR, committed to growing the cycling community.Wristbands will be issued BEFORE the ride begins, so arrive early!
