Major Taylor Iron Riders Bear Mountain Ride

Join us at 7:00 am for an unforgettable journey with the Major Taylor Iron Riders as we embark on our annual Bear Mountain Ride. This approximately 80-mile adventure begins along the picturesque Route 9W, offering breathtaking views and a gentle start to your ride.
As you progress, prepare yourself for a mix of rolling hills and challenging climbs that will test both your endurance and determination. The highlight comes when you tackle the iconic ascent up Perkins Hill, where panoramic vistas of the Hudson Valley await at the summit. Descend with renewed energy before refueling with a hearty lunch provided by The Cove Deli.
This ride is designed for those seeking a fast-paced experience along Route 9W, supported by SAG vehicles to ensure your comfort throughout. A special note from this year’s sponsor, Best Buddies, brings an extra layer of inspiration and community engagement. Best Buddies will share their mission and upcoming events, making it a day not just about the ride but also about connecting with like-minded individuals.
Wristbands are distributed before the start; arrive early to secure your spot. Don’t miss out on capturing this moment by participating in our group photo – come dressed for success and ready to embrace the challenge!
Remember, all participants should bring their own food, hydration, and a well-prepared saddle bag to ensure you’re equipped for every obstacle along the way.
