Hudson Valley Mtns
Sunday, October 5, 2025
(replacement date!)
60 miles
Sunday, October 5, 2025
Hi all, I'm selecting a new date for the Hudson Valley ride we'd been planning for the weekend of 9/6 that got rained out.
Route will take us from Poughkeepsie through New Paltz, up into the Shawangunk Mountains and right by Minnewaska State Park. This will be challenging and riders should be prepared for a 1,500-foot big climb.
I'm posting the default route as the shorter 60-mile option, although there is a 78-mile extended option if you'd prefer to end in Beacon!
-
Meeting point: Grand Central
- Train travel: We'll catch the 7:55am Metro North train via the Hudson line to the Poughkeepsie station. Ride is 125 minutes. Trains run about once per hour on this line on weekends, but please try not to miss the train.
