We are offering a shorter option of the Wassaic ride for a B- group. I'm attaching 2 different route options. We can decide together which to do; please download both routes!
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. Don't forget sunscreen! This ride is beautiful, but we'll be exposed for most of it.
Lunch: We can stop for lunch at Harney Tea, which has a cafe. It's at Mile 37 on the 53mi route or Mile 31 on the 47mi route. Please bring plenty of snacks and water for the ride. Our route will not stop in Copake where there are restrooms.
Start Time: Please arrive in time to get yourself set up and ready to roll out at 9:00am SHARP.
Parking: Weekends are FREE at the train station
NOTE: Start time may be adjusted according to temperature or weather predictions ahead of ride day.
