Some weeks it rolls as one blended group, other weeks multiple pace groups may form depending on ride leader presence.

  Other Rifugio Notes: Your first 3 Rifugio sessions are on us! After that, we ask that you become a Rifugio Member to keep joining in. Please RSVP and accept the Rifugio Waiver on the Rifugio Litchfield Hills Strava page or Click Here. 

  RIDERS MUST HAVE GRAVEL TIRES. "Recommended" tire width would be 38mm or larger. No road tires allowed on this ride. Riders with road tires will not be checked in and will not be covered under club insurance.

• Ashokan Reservoir Ride--Leaf Peeping Edition

  • When
    10/03/2025
  •  
    10:00 AM - 7:00 PM
  • Location
    Woodstock Dike Trailhead, West Hurley, NY

  Register

  Description:   We weren't able to get there in the Spring--so much rain! But the leaves should be at or near peak when we visit this time of year, and that's a real bonus! Over the last number of years the infrastructure surrounding the Ashokan Reservoir has been undergoing significant reconstruction/rehabilitation, and while  there are still ongoing projects and  finishing touches to be made, no further disruptions to traffic/trail flow are expected, according to the NYDEP. So let's do it! 

  Parking:  Woodstock Dike Trailhead is directly off Route 28. It's mostly a dirt lot and tends to fill up early. Carpooling is highly recommended.

  Toilets:  Located at Woodstock Trailhead, the Promenade, and Boiceville Trailhead (western end of the loop).

  Food:  There are no planned food stops, so bring plenty of ride food and hydration. After the ride, weather permitting 1) we will plan to picnic, right at the end of the trail, so bring your favorite picnic basket and a chair. 2) In years past, a few in the group have opted to meet at a local brewery. If there's interest is that, I'll circle back and list as an option, so talk amongst yourselves for that one and let me know.

  Equipment:  The road portion of this ride is gently rolling terrain along Route 28A, which is a quiet, 2-lane highway with limited shoulder. The sight lines are very good along the entire paved portion. Depending on your comfort level, you do NOT need a gravel bike to do this ride. The rail trail is hard-packed crushed cinder and very ridable. (I might suggest lowering the tire pressure a little on the trail section for comfort and additional traction.) Again, depends on YOUR comfort level. Gravel bikes (all-roads) are a great option, too.

  Info/History/Pictures:  

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashokan_Reservoir

  Rain Date:  TBD

  Start Time: 10:00am
  

  Pace:  C Pace and Above. This is a touring style ride. Feel free to stop for pictures--you're gonna want to do that. We will be stopping for pictures all along the Promenade, as it has the best reservoir views. Once we leave the Promenade and are back on Route 28A, we will ride as a group (no great places to stop for pics along the road section) to the Boiceville Trailhead and return to West Hurley via the rail trail , where there will be more opportunities to stop and enjoy the views.

  Close out your riding season with a ride to remember at Mohonk Preserve! 

  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
