This ride will take us from the Poughkeepsie MetroNorth station, across the Walkway over the Hudson and along a loop on the west side of the river. The pace will be moderate (12 to 18 mph) with brief stops along the route to regroup. There will be a lunch stop in New Paltz. This is NOT a Point-Drop-Sweep ride. There will be a leader at each end of the group but riders should be able to navigate using a cue sheet and/or a GPS route.

CAVEAT! If you have not done a ride of at least 50 miles in a day, this may not be a good choice for you. If you do not think you can maintain an overall speed of 14 mph for the entire day perhaps you should think again about this ride.

For those taking the train we will meet at Grand Central Terminal at 6:15 AM to catch the 6:43 train. It arrives in Poughkeepsie at 8:38 AM.
