Bike Weekend

Greenwood Lake may not have "Bike Week" like in Daytona, but if you're into Harleys and Hare Scrambles the weekend of May 3-5 may be the time to come for a visit.

On Saturday, May 4 at 9am the Greenwood Lake Merchants Guild, along with The Southern Cruisers Riding Club, will be hosting a Bike Blessing at Grace Lutheran Church (25 Waterstone Road, GWL, NY. Just down the road from the Inn). This is a free motorcycle event that will provide riders with a blessing for a safe and happy riding season. A group ride will follow the blessing through Orange County and end back in Greenwood Lake where local merchants will be available for lunch specials.

If you stay overnight, on Sunday May 5 at Tuxedo Ridge Ski Center they're hosting Hare Scramble races. If you don't know what this is, like me when I first heard this term, it's basically motorcross racing on the ski slopes and surrounding wooded trails. Not up for the challenge to be a racer? It's a whole lot of fun to go as a spectator. Food and drink are available and it's an exciting day of racing. We went as a family last year and had a great time. There was a huge turnout of racers from around the country.

Just in case you need more of an incentive to come up for Bike Weekend, the Waterstone Inn is offering a 10% discount on an overnight stay if you arrive to the Inn by Bike!
