Get ready for 27th annual Golden Apple
-
- August
- 21
Now’s the time to mark your calendar and register for this year’s Golden Apple, to be held Sunday September 14 at the Goldens Bridge train station. We’re expecting a big crowd – we have 330 riders
signed up already, and we are projecting to have at least 1,000 riders that Sunday in later summer. It’s Westchester’s biggest participatory recreational event.
Register now for $25 and you’ll get a t-shirt. After Sept. 3, the cost of the ride rises to $35.
Register online here.
We’ve been working to make the 2008 Golden Apple will be the best ever, with amply stocked food stops, and a filling lunch when you get back to Goldens Bridge.
We go out of our way to provide everything you need to make it a perfect day of bike riding. With something for everyone, we will have 25, 50, 75, 100, and 125-mile routes. Every turn is marked on the ground. We provide maps, cue sheets, and an emergency number just in case. All the routes beyond 25 follow a figure eight pattern past the stop for maximum flexibility. Beginning and ending at the Goldens Bridge Railroad Station, we provide four remote food stops plus a hearty
lunch served at the end.
Northern Westchester has some of Metro New York’s greatest roads, uncluttered by cars and full of beautiful sights. You will pass through horse country, past magnificent reservoirs, through quaint villages, and find a welcome rest to refuel at regular intervals.
The Golden Apple benefits Friends of Karen, a local charity for terminally ill children, and the New York Bicycling Coalition, a leader in New York statewide advocacy.
