Cycling in New York: Terrain & Route Overview
From the forested peaks of the six-million-acre Adirondack Park to the glacial wine bluffs of the Finger Lakes and the iconic cycling routes of the Hudson Valley, New York State offers a monumental range of century riding experiences. Cyclists can test their climbing legs in the Catskills and Adirondacks, roll through historic dairy farms along the Erie Canal, or enjoy the coastal flatlands and farm lanes of Long Island's North Fork. Classic events like the Hudson Valley Gran Fondo and Tour de Cure attract thousands of riders. The season peaks from June through October, with autumn presenting one of the finest fall foliage spectacles on Earth. With excellent road maintenance, deep cycling club roots, and scenic historic towns at every turn, New York is an essential American century destination.
Terrain Characteristics: Adirondack wilderness passes, Finger Lakes glacial wine ridges, Hudson Valley hills, and Long Island shorelines.
Riding Season & Weather: May through October.
