Back for 2024: ACME Neutral Ground

Join us upstate on June 7-9 for the return of Neutral Ground presented by our friends at ACME Bicycles. Travel up to Katonah by bike, train, or car to check out some great vendors and some of the best riding New York has to offer.

If you recall our recap from last year, we had a blast at Neutral Ground. Our friends at ACME rounded up a great expo of vendors last year and had an enticing spread of demo bikes and wheels available to ride for a variety of road and gravel rides.

This year, Neutral Ground is back with a similar fantastic lineup of sponsors. SRAM, our bike sponsor Factor, No. 22, Time, and ENVE are just a handful of the full list. This year, there’s a full weekend of activities to join:

Friday night will kick off the weekend with a mixer with some of the vendors, get fancy with light bites and wine.

Saturday will be a big day with several ride options being “Powered by Rapha,” with the expo opening at 10am. “Wood-fired pizza sponsored by SRAM” is also back this year, be sure to come early and chat with the SRAM reps for the possibility of mystery swag. Last year, the reversible SRAM Eagle bucket hat was the score of the day!

Rides will be a bit more spirited this year – there will be Strava Segments to chase as well as a supported aid station and a sag wagon! 

Sunday will start with coffee and pastries at the Ketonah ACME location, followed by a group ride at 9:30 over a mix of road and gravel.
