Rock Ring is a short, back-loaded mountain biking route on city land in Rochester, New York, set within the City of Rochester Land. The climb is only about 0.68 miles long and rises 24 feet from a low point of 267 feet to a high of 304 feet. The steepest stretch comes early, at about 0.05 miles in, with a grade of 11 percent. The route is rated hard, and it's best suited to riders who can handle a short, steep start before the trail eases. The climb is out and back, so the total elevation gain is 24 feet for the round trip. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Webster show July highs around 81°F with lows near 61°F, while winter brings frequent snow days from December through February.
