Wassaic Harlem Valley 66 **More Info**-->

**Looking forward to seeing everyone. Here are a couple last minute things**

--Still planning for a 9am start.

--Forecast is for a couple degrees cooler than home, but still going to be HOT; so drink all the water in your fridge tonight to get a jump on hydration!

--No bathrooms at the train station. If you need to go before the ride, there's a Dunkin' just south of Dover Plains, right on route 22.

--After the ride let's get a bite at Kelly's Creamery and Kelly's Husband's Food Truck in Dover Plains. 6 miles south on route 22.  https://www.kellyscreamerykht.com/ 

This ride takes us north, from the Wassaic Train Station lot, through beautiful Dutchess County scenery on quiet local roads, jumping on the Harlem Valley Rail Trail from Copake Falls to Millerton on the return. At a little less than 40ft/mile of elevation, it is a pretty mellow 66 miles. Don't forget sunscreen! This ride is beautiful, but we'll be exposed for most of it.

Refuel/Lunch/Restrooms: Depot Deli is not serving made to order food this season; you can get ice cream, beer and water, so our big refuel stop will move a few miles back to Copake where there are several options right along the intersection of county route 7A.

Copake General Store mm27.5 -- for water/snacks/grab n go sandwiches from the cold case (no public restrooms). Church Street Deli and Pizza -- may be the best bet for those who want something a little more substantial. It's just around the corner from the General Store.

Public restrooms at Taconic Park mm37 (Depot Deli) and in Millerton (mm13.8 and mm49.5).
