Join cyclists from all over the country for the 5th annual 6-day, 200-mile, Great Hudson Valley Pedal August 11-16, 2009 through the picturesque and historic Hudson Valley. The Hudson River Valley has long been celebrated as one of the most picturesque river valleys in the world! Registration is now open.

The Ride
The Great Hudson Valley Pedal is designed for fun and relaxation and to acquaint you with the richness of the Hudson Valley. You don't need to be an expert to participate in this tour but you and your bicycle should be in good physical condition. You'll cover 35-45 miles per day. Elevation changes are moderate. The route has been carefully selected for optimal bicycling but, especially as the tour approaches NYC, some busy roads are inevitable.

The Hudson Valley
Home to Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site, West Point, the spectacular Catskill Mountains, scenic villages, riverfront mansions, and many outstanding parks and trails, the Hudson Valley is rich in history, culture, wineries, gourmet cuisine and scenic bicycling. And through it all runs the mighty Hudson River.
