Event
Brief
Everything you need before the wheels roll. Sakura Park to the Hudson Valley and back — supported since 1994.
What
This is not a race. It’s a supported ride with aide stations, on road support, and a finish-line celebration. NYCC has been running this ride since 1994 and it supports youth cycling programs—which is where we get new cyclists. It’s a win, win, win!
Where
You start at Sakura Park, cross the GWB, and ride through Bergen County, Rockland County, or both — depending on your route.
When
Saturday, September 26, 2026. Check-in starts at 6:00 A.M. The festival wraps up at 6:00 P.M.
