Get ready to ride wide open spaces and singletrack! Stewart State Forest is an amazing resource in Orange County, New York, just 65 miles from New York City, and easily accessible from I-84 and I-87 (NY Thruway). We've got courses for all levels of off-road riding experience. Our trailmaster, SSF trail expert and author Jeff Montayne, has put together courses you will love! Course offerings are 9 miles, 15 miles and 18 miles. The short course is for beginning cyclists and families, on old roads through the lands. The 15 miler for intermediate and experienced riders, on both roads and trails. The 18 miler is for advanced riders only -- be ready for some bunny hops and perhaps some mud - we'll see! You can do the short course with a hybrid, but other courses require mountain bikes. (Just be aware - the old roads can be gravelly, the wider your tires the better!) See the FAQ page for more info on the ride & routes. We start around 9am, with registration and check-in til 10:30. We will have an en-route rest stop for a little refueling on your ride, and then after your ride, change into your new American-made 2010 ride t-shirt, enjoy a yummy lunch and maybe do walking tour to learn more about the wonderful Stewart lands. Start/finish is at the Dept. of Environmental Conservation entrance on Weed Road, just off Rt 207, in Rock Tavern/Town of New Windsor, about 3 miles west of Stewart International Airport; 2 miles west of the intersection of Rte 747 (exit 5a off I-84) and Rt 207.See map below! See the FAQ page for some oft-asked questions! Notes for Ride Day-- Check in starts @ 9am. As soon as you check in you can go ride! We will do everything we can to be set up and ready before 9 but please don't come before 8:30! Smaller vehicles are better, unless you can do a truck and carpool!
