- 1PSport/122121.421.40Pictuay in ReverseTerry Peters
Finally, some good cycling weather. Pump up your tires and let's seize the moment. Since it's an early season ride, we will take it easy which will allow us to watch for possible potholes in the road.
PLEASE NOTE: The ride start time is 1pm (not noon like the email says). Why the difference? The ride leader changed her mind to start in slightly warmer temps.
There is construction on 9W so the new route does not even take us on Pictuay.

Weather looks great for a long ride tomorrow for those of you ready for some distance and a little climbing. Long, but casual, and many opportunities to shorten the route. For example, very easy to cut off the spur that leads to Willard Mountain. A couple of us did the reverse version of this route about a week ago and really enjoyed it. With the snow melting, the scenery won't be as good, but still, there are some pretty nice views.
We will meet at the Shop & Save parking lot across from the Schaghticoke Fairgrounds. I will be parked along the periphery near the traffic light.
Bathrooms? -- Stewarts is the easiest. On RT 40 just south of the traffic light.
Please note that RWGPS indicates that Cooke Hollow Rd is dirt. That is not the case. The route is all paved.
I don't expect a crowd, but I will be there.....got to take advantage of the dry roads & sun! This is a combined ride with CVC.

Back in 2005, I was leading these matinee rides because I was working nights and not able to commit to a morning ride.
I don't work nights anymore but I still like doing an afternoon ride that gets me home for dinner. I'm commiting to 2 of these
rides a month and possibly 1 Road and the other Gravel if the interest is there. Will increase mileage and pace as the season goes.
Faster riders are welcome, just let the ride leader know what you're doing.
Rain at the start cancels the ride, look for updates on the day of.
