on 9D heading south
until you are looking directly at mt beacon you will see bobs corner store on the left
almost leaving Beacon
across from the store is a gravel lot that is the entry way for the stairs going up
you can park in that lot |

Sure, the biggest crossroads is Rte 9D at I-84. If you take route 9D
South through the City of Beacon, (it actually goes around) you'll
keep getting closer to the Mtn...right at the base of the Mtn (you can't get any closer without going up it).. At that turn there's a parking lot (dirt) with a trail head and a porta potty....( yeah). That's where we meet. If you need more or better directions, call me........914 489 3397....We'll do lunch..
Don't foget the Tee's.....maybe even some soxxxx. _________________ Shut up and ride.! |

Whenever you want, let me know. I'm always willing to go up.
We did a night ride up there last week, it was insane coming down.
Too much fun to be legal.... _________________ Shut up and ride.! |

hope to see you on the trails

It is a lot of climbing. But it's very rewarding at the top. And what
goes up.....
We did a few experimental trails on Sunday. But I know routes that
don't involve much hike a biking. _________________ Shut up and ride.! |
