About the Event

Registration opens at 7 am on September 6th, with an additional $15 surcharge if registering on the day. The Catskill Mountain Cycling Challenge invites cyclists to explore three breathtaking routes through the picturesque Western Catskills region. This year's event builds upon a rich tradition of recreational road cycling and aims to support the continued operation of the Catskill Recreation Center (CRC).
The 29-mile route will start at 9:30 am, followed by the 50-mile journey beginning at 8:30 am. The longest challenge, a 100-mile ride, also commences at 8:30 am. Each cyclist embarking on these routes can look forward to scenic landscapes and challenging terrain that showcase the natural beauty of the Catskills.
A pre-ride safety briefing will be held fifteen minutes before each departure point, ensuring participants are well-prepared for their chosen route. The CRC offers a welcoming atmosphere with locker rooms and showers available for your convenience. Enjoy some refreshments from the center’s selection of delicious food and drinks after your ride. Remember to bring a towel as facilities may not provide one.
Join us on September 6th, where Overlook Bicycles will once again partner with us in this exciting event. For more information or to register, visit our official website: Catskill Mountain Cycling Challenge. We eagerly look forward to sharing the trails and scenic routes of the Western Catskills with you!
