Our efforts are rewarded with an exhilarating descent towards Kerhonkson. A traverse along the northwest escarpement of Minnewaska brings us to Ellenville - with a short convenience store break - which we then leave behind as we climb Losees Hill.

  Close out your riding season with a ride to remember at Mohonk Preserve! This is a "Meet Up" Ride for RBC members.

  Join us for an epic fundraising ride across the Shawangunk Ridge, just 90 miles north of Manhattan. Pick from two distances 50.4 miles (4,030 ft gain) or 23 miles (2,580 ft gain). Both courses begin and end at the Ulster County Fairgrounds and once you enter the Preserve at mile two, the course is over 95% gravel on our famous network of historic carriage roads.  For 2025 we are reworking the 23 mile course and will be sharing it soon. 

  This is not a race; think of it as a super challenging fun ride for a really good cause. Some of the gravel is rough and steep in spots. Expect loose rock – especially on the descents. The long course includes an optional short technical section and a mandatory dismount/bike hike up a rustic steps near the “million dollar view.” Bring your gravel, cyclocross, or mountain bike. Class 1 e-bikes are permitted if you can manage the technical sections. No road bikes, please.

  You won’t be timed but you will be well-fed. Look for well-stocked aid stations with water, Skratch hydration and energy bars and bananas. A post ride party with food and music awaits you at the finish. Be sure to carry some food and water, and maybe extra clothes depending on the weather - this is a rain or shine event. You’ll be sharing the carriage roads with hikers and climbers, so bike bells are highly recommended. Be courteous to hikers and other riders when passing. Pack a spare tube, tools, and pump as there’s no mechanical support on course and no sag wagon. Helmets are required.

  *Shout out to our friends at the Open Space Institute for granting us access to the River-to-Ridge Trail and to the Mohonk Mountain House who grant us special access to Sky Top and the golf course area for the event day only. Bikes are not allowed on carriage roads near Sky Top so you cannot pre-ride these sections of the course. No exceptions – If we blow this, access to Sky Top and the golf course will not continue. PLEASE DO NOT POST PICS FROM SKY TOP ON SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS.

  The 50.4 mile long route will start at 9 AM. Cost $150.
  
  The 23.3 mile short routes will begin at 10 AM. Cost $125

  Description: Alice's Restaurant ... B/B+ Destination Ride

  Date/Day/Time: November 28th - Saturday - 10am

  Who is this For?: Fun, historical ride at B pace. Longer (metric distance) require fitness and ability to ride cool conditions!
  

  The Alice's Restaurant Bicycle Ride is held every year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The 2026 ride will be on Saturday November 28th. We start in Salisbury, CT and go up to Stockbridge, MA.  The ride is 67 miles with 3300 ft of ascent in 5 climbs. The route passes farms, goes along streams and through villages in the Berkshires and of course passes the famous Alice's Restaurant Garbage Trail sites. The two shorter rides both start from the Guthrie Center (the church where Alice lived) and follow parts of the long route. All routes go past the site of Alice's restaurant, the Scene of the Crime, the police officer's station, the site of the dump and the church where Alice lived. Roger will lead the longer (68 mile) ride.

  Parking:

  68 & 60 Mile Routes: Salisbury LaBonne's Market (22 Academy Street, Salisbury, CT 06068). Please patronize the store and please park in the field across from the parking lot; not in the parking lot.

  Rain Date:

  In the event of bad weather on Saturday the ride will be rescheduled to Sunday, November 29th.  Any changes will be posted on the website link above by 5 pm on Friday November 27th and on the RBC website. Contact Roger Snow at 203 297 0528 if you have questions.

  Ride Requirements:

  • Bring sufficient water and nutrition for mileage.
  • Bring spare tubes, inflation, cell phone and tools.
  • Riders responsible for their own lunch

  Notes:

  The ride usually finishes around sunset so all riders should have a flashing rear light and a small front light will be helpful as well.
  

  There are generally groups riding at various levels ranging from about 14 to 17+ mph.  I will ride with a B group at 15-16 mph. There will be a faster group. There are several options to shorten the route since it makes a big loop around Great Barrington, so you can cut back to Great Barrington then head south on Route 41 to Salisbury.

  All routes converge before Stockbridge, but all groups will meet in Stockbridge between 12:30 & 1pm.  Many riders stop for lunch at the Elm Street Market • 4 Elm Street . The library at the corner of Elm & Main is next door and has restrooms available.
