Description: 55 miles of late summer cycling through beautiful sections of Bergen and Rockland counties in a big loop from Paramus to Congers, NY. We will pass 3 lakes and rolling hills and there is one big climb and a long gentle but fast descent. Optional additional steep but beautiful climb up Clausland Mtn and Tweed (550 feet of climbing, 2.5 additional miles) with a twisty tricky descent, that meets back with the group. Mostly a low traffic route with one rest stop about halfway at Bella Vita Italian deli in Congers.
