Mountain Cruisin’:
Open Roads & Firelit Nights in the Catskills
Sep 12-14, 2025 • Basecamp Brooklyn Estates, Loch Sheldrake, NY
Embrace the Journey
Mountain Cruisin’ is all about rolling through winding mountain roads, exploring hidden Catskills gems, and kicking back fireside with a community of down-to-earth humans who value good food, fresh air, and real connection. Whether you’re coming up on two wheels, four wheels, or catching a ride with a friend, this weekend is about embracing the journey — not rushing the destination.

The Flow of the Weekend
Friday evening, campers settle in, share a tapas-style welcome spread, and gather around the fire under the stars. It’s the perfect kickoff to a weekend of riding, exploring, and unwinding.
Saturday is a feast for the senses: scenic roads, fall foliage, curated routes for bikes and cars, and plenty of time to stop for photos, snacks, and local gems along the way. At day’s end, everyone returns to camp for Chef Allan’s harvest feast and another glowing fire circle.
Sunday morning brings a lighter breakfast, coffee, and those slow goodbyes that come after a weekend well spent.
