Anyone who has spent any decent amount of time in the Catskills could tell you that this time of year could be sunny and 70s, white-out blizzard conditions or anything in between. Good fortune prevailed last Saturday when we drew a perfectly crisp sunny autumn morning, that heated up nicely (but not too hot) and lasted all of the way into early evening. Continue Reading >
Friends, we are excited to announce that we will be partnering with the folks at FAHRT as a part of their Tw2j series again this fall on October 10, 2026 at Catskill Outpost and Stamford Coffee in Stamford NY from noon to 5. Similar to last year’s event, there will be food, beverage, music, merch, and good people. We have put together a couple of loops starting and ending at the event.
Download the GPX files from this link. There is a fully paved option, as well as one with some nice unpaved sections.
We will most likely also be doing a casual group ride in the morning from Belleayre to the event. Check insta a little closer to the event date. for details. The leaves are already changing, but we there should still be a bit of residual leaf peeping action to take in. Look forward to seeing you all there!
We had another great iteration of the annual ADX weekend, this year. It was the same crew as last year with a few caveats. We had a new friend join us on the Friday section, starting in Catskill Park up until we stopped for lunch at Taco29 in Cahajoharie. Lukas’ bike was being a diva and he would not be getting it back from the shop in time to ride (nor could we round up a loaner in time). So he opted to join us on 4 wheels. It was actually pretty nice to have support vehicle come along! Russ was finishing an extended vacay in VT and ended up riding straight from there to meet up with us in Newcomb on Friday Night.
We mixed in a new unpaved section on Saturday, through the heart of Adirondack Park, where we encountered some sections of deep sand and deep gravel. Happily, everyone managed to make it through without issue, even Szabi on the Ducati Hyper, rocking Pirelli Corsa Rosso IVs!
Another highlight from Saturday’s loop was finally having nice enough weather to jump into the secret swimming hole that we stumbled across a couple years ago. Ultimately, we spent so much time goofing around on Saturday, that we did not make it to Lake Placid until well after 4:00PM, and subsequently arrived at the entrance gate for Whiteface after they had closed for the day. Can’t win ’em all!
I logged roughly 740 miles on the weekend. The guys who came up from the city obviously clocked significantly more. Good times were had by all. Can’t wait to do it again next year.

What was meant to be a Memorial Day ride got rained/frozen out and rescheduled for Saturday June 27. We met up on the early side at the P Diner. Most of the usual suspects were traveling or otherwise indisposed. But what we may have lacked in quantity, we made up for in quality. We had a feeling it was going to be a good day, when this dope old Saab pulled up next to our bikes with the top down. The good omen proved to be true. We had ideal weather for the entire ride. Vibes were also in the A+ category. We missed all of those who could not make it. But look forward to seeing you next time! Couple of additional snaps from the ride below– Continue Reading >
We had a bit of a false start on our first attempt at a 2026 spring club group ride over Memorial Day weekend, since it ended up being low 50s and pouring rain all weekend. We’re offering a rebate for what will surely be an excellent day of riding, with a 100ish mile jaunt curated by Szabi (A/K/A the route gawd). Jumping off from the Phoenicia Diner, lunch at Ravenwood, then ending back in Phoenicia. Everyone is welcome to join. Good vibes only. See you there!
