 |
|
If anyone's interested, going to put a good hurting on myself and ride over to Mohonk Wed morning, rolling out at 7 am from my house in Poughkeepsie. Should be around 50 miles total...up Mohonk, then west on Clove Road, and back. Plan on taking the Walkway Over the Hudson to/from, and depending on how busy it is, the rail trail at least to New Paltz. If anyone intersted, let me know and we can meet some where along the way, or I'll PM you my address.

| How do connect up with the rail trail to New Paltz? I follow the trail in the Highlands side of the Walkway and it ends at that ball field. |

Oops...rail trail to New Paltz was supposed to be finished last year. Haven't had time to ride all the way out...so looks like my info is wrong. Guess they are a little behind.
Anyway, weather forecast is not looking good for tomorrow...t-storms tonight and tomorrow. If weather is looking nasty, won't be riding. If I don't see anyone has an interest, I won't bother to post up if I'm cancelling.

Matt - Any input on how your route might be different? Once back at the bridge into NP, just follow route reverse.

I'll usually take the rail trail to 299. You can take NP road north of 299 then west to ohioville, but the shoulder is actually pretty wide on 299 till you hit north putt. |

Lily lake road is easiest to get to from the end of the rail trail.
You go across 299 at the mini golf / ice cream place.
From the end of that road head west and go exploring,
i did and found lots of different roads ,very pleasant shaded lightly traveled.
Some are flat and some have rolling terrain,you can even loop up to the Kingston Br. and come down thru Rhinebeck. |
