Join us on this scout of the Hudson River Valley. We'll meander through back roads and through quaint towns, hopefully avoiding a lot of traffic and dirt roads, but it will be pretty. Average speed will likely be 15 mph on flats.

We'll start with an 8:50 am departure from Grand Central (be there at 8:30). After arriving at the Brewster train station we will meander through the back roads of Dutchess county over towards the Hudson River. Lunch will be in the town of Cold Spring. There will be a bail out option in the town of Cold Spring. We will then continue back to the Brewster train station.

The total route is a little over 65 miles with 4900 feet elevation gain. Eat a good breakfast and bring snacks. Lunch will likely be after 2 pm and there are some hills before we get there. 

Bring:

• MetroNorth bike pass
• Money for snacks, lunch, etc
• Sense of adventure
• Water bottles
• Spare tube
• Snacks
