The Yonkers Bicycle Club has announced that this year’s 14th annual Tour De Yonkers will take place on Sunday morning, October 1, 2023.
The Tour De Yonkers, is a group bicycle ride through the City of Yonkers and parts of Westchester County. The ride is the second largest participant sporting event on the Yonkers calendar (the largest being the Yonkers Marathon). Last year the Tour had over 400 riders.
This enjoyable untimed event is open to all bike riders over the age of 18 (age 16 and 17 if riding with a parent), who can ride at least 12 miles.
There are routes of 12, 25 and 50 miles. As the ride gets longer the hills get longer and steeper. The routes take us through share-the-road streets, scenic park trails, and, for the longer ride, along the closed-to-traffic Bronx River Parkway. There will be a police escort for the first several miles.
The ride will start and end in Yonkers at the Beczak Environmental Center- Sarah Lawrence Center for the Urban River, 35 Alexander Street, located in picturesque Habershaw Park along the Hudson River.
The Yonkers Bike Club is a cycling club which also sponsors social bike rides and an annual spring Triyakathon, which is a fun Walk/Run-Bike-Kayak event.
