This is a ride: 75 miles, 13 mph avg. pace.
Start: Poughkeepsie, NY. Meet on the Walkway over the Hudson.
Planned route: Poughkeepsie to Bell Pond and back.
At the half-way point, we’ll grab some lunch and shoot some breeze. At the end, we’ll get ice cream at Stewart’s.

This is an unorganized, leader-less meet-up. But here are some ride guidelines so you know what to expect:
- Keep it mellow: 13 mph average pace, ride in a loosely-spaced single-file line, obey traffic laws.
- You must be able to fend for yourself: no tech support, no sweep, no bikes provided.
- Bring your own map/cue sheet, tools, tubes, drinks, etc.
- If you go off the front or fall off the back, you’ll need to navigate and take care of yourself.
- It’s nothing personal if you get dropped. It’s an easy route. We’ll meet you again at lunch or at the ice cream shop.
- That’s all folks. It’s just a group ride.
- RSVP if you’d like to receive last minute updates such as cancellation due to weather.
