Will anyone meet us at the train station to take a small backpack to the motel Friday, or do we need to carry everything with us on the ride?

Regarding Bag Transport - No, You do not need to ride with your bag.
The plan is to have a Bag Drop Happy Hour Thur night in Chelsea. This will give everyone a chance to drop bags and meet fellow riders. Please see details here and RSVP: https://www.outcycling.org/rides/399.
If you can not make the bag drop happy hour, there will be an alternate bag drop either at Grand Central Terminal or the Beacon Train station - TBD. Final details to come Wednesday next week in the ride mail.

Since I live in Westchester, I will meet everyone tomorrow at the Beacon train station when your train is due to arrive (11:22 am).
Sorry I cannot make the happy hour tonight. I will carry my pack on my bike.

As mentioned we will leave for the excursion right after guys are back from bike repair. Likely 4:30 and 5pm latest.
If anyone is not making the excursion we can rendezvous in town at Huckleberry likely around 7pm
New Paltz taxi does $5.00 local rides around town.
