Catskills Ride Schedule All are invited to join Deb and I on our rides during the Catskills weekend. The pace will be determined by those who join us. If you've wanted to see the Adirondacks then this is your chance. All rides will be well-spaced, single-file rides. We will rarely ride in formation. I will mix riders with GPS within the ride. Some parts of these routes are best followed using GPS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wednesday 6/9: Westfield, Massachusetts to Cobleskill Ride. Leave Westfield, MA about 10:00 am. Ride 198 miles through Bashbish Falls State Park, Dutchess County, Columbia County, then some great roads in the Catskills.
------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thursday 6/10: East Adirondacks Ride #2 - This 247 mile ride travels north on terrific SR10 and then east on SR8 towards Lake George. Reach the Lake near Bolton's Landing and then follow SR9N south to the town of Lake George and have a great BBQ lunch at Smoky Joe's Saloon and Ribs (reviews) (menu) or lunch at the Adirondack Pub and Brewery (menu). After lunch, ride scenic CR4 (great road!) along Great Sacandaga Lake (gorgeous) before taking some nice local roads back to Cobleskill. (approx. 5 3/4 hours without stops.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friday 6/11: West Adirondacks Ride #1 - This 212 mile ride travels north on terrific SR10 to Piseco Lake. Next ride west on SR8 and SR365 along the Hinckley Reservoir. The route then turns south for a thrilling ride through Ilion Gorge (video). Ride along Lakes Canadarago and Otsego on the way to lunch in Cooperstown at Alex and Ika (great food!) (menu) or the Doubleday Cafe (reviews). Finish with some nice back roads to Cobleskill. (approx. 5 1/4 hours without stops.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Saturday 6/12: East Catskills Ride #6 - This 271 mile ride is an ideal Catskills ride for those that can get out early. Ride SR214 and SR212 and ride SR47 and SR42 clockwise which is quite scenic. Stop for a soft drink and enjoy the great view from the deck of the Point Lookout Inn. (approx 7 1/2 hours without stops.) This will probably take about 10 1/2 hours with stops.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sunday 6/13: Cobleskill to Westfield, Massachusetts - 207 great miles via the East Catskills and glorious Dutchess County.
