Discover by Bike
Each week, I host a laid-back group ride—either Friday evening or Saturday morning. I’ll post the planned route with a map every Wednesday. These are fun, no-drop rides—whether on gravel, road, or mountain bikes—keeping everyone together as we explore the best of the Hudson Valley and Catskills. Rides will start from different spots: sometimes from my Gardiner or Highland office, sometimes from a random gem to showcase the region. You’ll find the routes, GPS files, and maps right here—and I’ll also announce everything on my Instagram, TheHouseOfJurgen. Come ride, explore, and maybe even spot your future home!
May 1st 5:00 pm - Highland NY Road Ride
Discover by Bike — Highland, NY Ride
This week’s Discover by Bike ride starts right in Highland (Hudson Dwellings Office) and heads out on a mix of quiet backroads that really show why this area is so good on two wheels.
We’ll roll out at a relaxed, no-drop pace—nothing crazy, just a solid ride to get familiar with the area, the roads, and each other. Expect a mix of rolling terrain, a few steady climbs, and some really scenic stretches that make it worth it.
These are the kinds of roads I ride all the time—low traffic, good pavement, and just far enough off the main routes that you start to feel like you’ve got the place to yourself.
Whether you’re new to the area, thinking about spending more time up here, or just want a good ride without the chaos, this is exactly what these rides are about.

We’ll keep it casual, regroup as needed, and wrap it up back where we started. If there’s interest, we can grab coffee or food after.
April 24th 5:00 pm - High Falls Road Ride
Join us for a road ride. It’s a small, casual no-drop group—just a handful of us rolling out together. We’ll start from the municipal parking lot in High Falls, right by the D&H Canal, at 5 p.m. From there, we’ll head down Berme Road toward Accord, cross 209, and climb back up through Mill Hook Road, Whitfield, and Kripplebush. We’ll loop back via Pine Bush Road toward Stone Ridge, before finishing on the scenic Leggett Road. It’s about 20 miles total, with roughly 1,000 feet of elevation gain. Expect a chill, fun ride, perfect for getting to know the area—no one gets left behind!

Our first gravel ride will be on Saturday, April 18th, starting at 10 a.m. from the Hudson Dwellings office: 3124 Route 44/55, Gardiner, NY 12525. It’s a medium-hard, 15-mile route in Mohonk. If you prefer, you can meet us at West Trapps parking and join at Trapps Bridge around 10:20. We’ll loop Undercliff, passing just above Duck Pond, below Skytop, and down Humpty Dumpty before returning via Overcliff. We’ll wrap up back at the office—maybe grabbing lunch. It’s the perfect start!
