Any Interest in a Social ride, followed by drinks/food?

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to see if there was some interest in a group ride that is meant to be social (easy pace)? Then followed by drinks and something to eat afterwards? I was thinking if there is interest, having a 3 hour ride from Jockey Hill, wheels down around 1 PM for a 3-4 hour ride, then retire to Keegans in Kingston afterwards. If there is some interest, perhaps looking at 3rd weeknd of November? Any other suggestions maybe? I thought it would give everyone the chance to catch up, and for the new folks to meet the rest of the club. I'll get back to you on a possible date if there's interest.

Glad to see some interest! I did a ride like this down on Long Island with the club CLIMB (Mike Viti!) and had a blast! Was a great way to spend black friday.

As we chatted about this last night Sam, I am down and the 3rd weekend in Nov would work perfect for me as I have that weekend off as in Nov 17,18..as of now that would work for me:)

Just a friendly reminder, that is opening day/weekend for shooting deer with guns. Jockey Hill may not be an ideal location to hang out out in the woods.

Social ride alternatives to hunting lands~

Blue Mt, then Peekskill Brewing Co
Ferncliff, then Terrapin
Hyde Park Trails, then Hyde Park Brewery -although the National Park land ridiculously might have Farm Lane closed to bikes for the season!
Minnewaska, then a NP eatery
Po'k rail trail/Illinois Mt/ Franny Reese/ Rail Trail/ then River Station or etc
Caravan/carpool to Saratoga

Hey all, had just thrown JH out there, and had forgotten about the hunting aspect (thanks for the reminder Kevin!)...but I think we have some great suggestions of where to ride. Glad to see a lot of interest! In the next few days, I'll throw a date out and see how it works for everyone, along with a riding venue. Or perhaps we could ride JH, and anyone that gets shot at drinks free?

Anyone have any preference for where we ride/drink/eat afterwards? I know I'm open to anything!

How does Saturday November 17 work for everyone? Does Lippman work for everyone, followed by drinks/food at the Gilded Otter in New Paltz afterwards? Roll out at 10:00 AM, finish up by maybe 1:30-2:00 PM? Depending on who shows up, we can have a beginner and advanced group. All are welcome!
