Join cyclists from all over the country for the 8th annual 6-day, 200-mile Great Hudson Valley Pedal through the historic Hudson Valley on July 31-August 5. The Hudson River Valley has long been celebrated as one of the most picturesque river valleys in the world!
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
H
ome 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.
Both riders and non-riding participants can volunteer to help out during the ride. Volunteers will receive a discount on the registration fee and riders will still be able to bicycle part of the time. There are many volunteer possibilities available for volunteers including sag and luggage truck drivers, rest stop help, route supervisors, route checking, and more!! You can view the volunteer job descriptions and apply to become a volunteer by printing and completing our Volunteer Application (2012 application available 1/1/12).
