East Coast Velo Rally

Our second East Coast Velocette rally!   By popular demand from our East Coast members, we will explore the Catskills and Hudson Valley region Upstate New York. Legendary for its exceptional scenery and world-class riding roads.  Our rally hub is the Catskill Mountain Club on Hunter Mountain, a winter ski resort and summer mountain bike mecca, with enough rooms to accommodate a rally of any size, and as it’s in the mountains, enough canyon and river roads to satisfy curve-hungry riders.

Our planned route over 3 days includes a day in the Hudson Valley, with a visit to painter Frederick Church’s remarkable estate/museum Olana, and lunch in the super charming nearby town of Hudson.  A second day’s ride includes a run through the beautiful Beaverkill Valley, through beautiful covered bridges and historic sites.  Another day winds all around the Catskill mountains per se.  If you know the area well and would like maps of our planned routes (I’m open to feedback: Ultan Guilfoyle has been very helpful so far), send me a note directly: chairman@velocette.orgThere’s a group discount for rooms at the Catskill Mountain Club.  I recommend you make your reservation sooner rather than later, as it’s rumored a music event may coincide with one of our dates.  Please call the resort directly: 855.947.0443  Use the group name (Velocette Owners Club) or group code SHUVEL25.  Make sure to reserve rooms for Sept 11-14, as we ride on Friday 12, Saturday 13, and Sunday 14 – a shorter ride so locals can get home Sunday evening.
