Escape New York is the New York Cycle Club’s signature one-day cycling event that takes riders from New York City to some of the most scenic roads in the surrounding region. The event combines beautiful routes, outstanding volunteer support, rest stops with great food, and a festive finish celebration. Each year hundreds of cyclists join Escape New York for a day of riding, community, and adventure. Organized by NYCC volunteers, the event brings together riders, sponsors, and supporters to celebrate cycling while supporting the club’s mission of building a welcoming and diverse cycling community.
The purpose of Escape New York has always been to stage a uniquely generous ride and festival that is so infused with club spirit; so much fun, so well-run, user friendly, thoughtfully detailed and welcoming that it elevates the club and the members that stage it, and helps the New York Cycle Club build a diverse membership and cement ties among the disparate groups that make it happen….riders, volunteers, sponsors, donors, community leaders and advocates.
