The 28 miler will continue South on the Hurly/Marbletown/O&W past High Falls then jumping on the road at Rest Plaus rd.. The last leg of the road ride will be Mountain Road(just over a mile climb) cresting at the Southern end of the Rosendale Trestle and the Wallkill Trail which we will ride over and continue North back to Kingston. Passing through Williams Lake and the ice caves cold air blast.

Planning on the big one!

Not sure I'd call climbing Mountain Rd in that direction a moderate hill. But it is paved, and fairly short, so in that sense it's easy, especially if done on a mountain bike Smile

I'll come along for the long one, it mostly follows my bike commute to work and back.

Do we start at 10am? The TourDe Ulster website calls this the Road and Rail option I guess.
