Come join a few of us from CVC for a ride around scenic Cambridge, (NY not MA). Hills, fields, mountains, creeks, rivers & a couple of covered bridges. Two big loops, so there are options for a shorter ride. Please let leader know of your plans if you are going to deviate from the route. There is a Stewarts & Cumberland Farm at mile marker 24.5 and Benson's Diner at marker, 38.5. Fast riders are welcome to speed ahead, and wait for trailing riders, but I will be leading from the middle of the pack. Who knows, I may be sweeping. Five members of CVC are on board at this point. Hope we can add some MHCC riders to the mix.
Long ride, so make sure you have the route downloaded or that you have a printed copy.
It appears The Bog is open, so there is an oppoturnity to get together for some refreshments after all of the fun.

OK Women of MHCC, come to today's ride with an appetite and some money to buy yourself a treat at Broadstreet Bagel shop in Kinderhook. Some people will want to lock up their bikes, others will simply keep an eye on their bike. Do whatever is comfortable for you.
Our route travels along the AHET trail from Nassau to Kinderhook, however the trail does include short sections along the road. There is a port-a-pottie near the start or a Stewart's shop a mile away.
We will travel together, regrouping as needed and making sure no one is left behind.

Attention MHCC Members! It's Spring Kick-Off Time!
Once again we are marking the Spring riding season with two rides from Indian Ladder Farms Cidery and Brewery. This is a great way to meet up with riding friends (or meet new ones), maybe see a different part of Albany County and, post-ride, enjoy a meal and beverage at Indian Ladder Farms' pub. This ride, leaving from Indian Ladder Farms lower lot at 1:15 PM, will head into Altamont, providing great views of the Helderbergs and a taste of Village life. A great tour of some Guilderland back roads. Put May 9th on your calendar and sign up for this one. The route is interesting, gentle and rolling, and the company even better. Rain at the start will cancel the ride. This will help you light up your legs for more MHCC rides coming up soon.
