Looking for a day in the country? Join us for a full day's ride along the Hudson Valley. We will start in Poughkeepsie, cross the Hudson River, and ride through the towns and valleys on the west side of the river. Lunch will be at the half way point in Kingston after which we will take a more westerly route south to New Paltz and then return to Poughkeepsie via the Walkway over the Hudson. This is a fairly demanding trip. It will be at the high end of Advanced Moderate. It starts quite far upstate and has climbing of close to three thousand feet. We all climb at different rates but travel on the flats will be in the 15 to 17 mph rate. Make sure that you are able to handle this route as there are no bail-out points along the way. A GPS file will be made available to registered riders shortly before the ride date. Cue sheets will be distributed to those riders who make a request before the day of the ride.

 

There is a maximum of 10 riders on this trip.

 

Things to bring: A bike in good condition, helmet, Covid mask, 2 water bottles (full), snacks, two inner tubes, a pump or CO2 cartridges, sunscreen.

 

Please 'unregister' if you can not make the ride so waited list folks can move up and take the slot.
