A hilly quick spin century to Poughkeepsie that features two separate ~1,000' climbs skirting the north and south faces of Round Mountain in Fahnestock State Park. Total ascent = ~10,000'. The route meanders a bit to take in some less-traveled roads and hills.

As this is a quick spin, there will be no point-drop-sweep unless unusual circumstances require it. We'll pause to regroup at the top of the longer climbs.  Lunch at the 42-mile mark; rest stops at 20, 68 and 88 miles.  Feel free to join us for the first half of the ride up to lunch; the pace and climbing to that point will be more manageable, and there is a very convenient bail option at Croton-Harmon Metro North (42-mile mark).  There will be some hardpack and other unpaved sections.
