- 2PSport/12.52828.128.10Bikes and Burgers at the Gray WillowTom Buscher
Meet us at the Gray Willow Brewery in Earlton on 5/11 Monday at 2:00. The ride starts at 2:00 and is a 28.1 mile long ride with 1733' of climbing. This route is very scenic and passes by several small lakes, ponds and wetlands. The route also has some great Mountain views of the Catskills. There are a few steep climbs on this route but they are short in my opinion. This is a hilly rolling route. Riders should be prepared for several short climbs and descents. The ride should take experienced riders about 2 1/2 hours to complete with occassional regroups. The last 4 miles of the ride is a gradual descent back to the Brewery. After the ride we will meet at the Brewery for Burgers and a drink. Monday nights they have a drink and Burger special. Brewery Opens at 4:00. Park in the long Gravel parking lot on the left when pulling in. Please park farther away from the Brewery. Rain at start could cancel the ride. I will sweep from the middle to the back. There are no stores or stops on the route so be sure to have plenty to drink on the route
Brewery Address, Gray Willow, 2168 NY-81, Earlton NY 12058

- 5:30PTour/153030.230.20Thursday “4 Corners Ride” DelmarMichelle DePuy
We'll still roll out at 5:30 PM from the former Real McCoy Brewery location in Delmar, next to Brewtus Coffee, but we're stretching the ride to 30 miles instead of the originally planned 22.
This is a great chance to push yourself a bit while still riding with a supportive group. The goal is to average around 15 mph, with 16–20 mph on the flats. Total climbing is about 1,125 feet, with Relea being the biggest climb of the night.
CBRC Biking will also be riding the same route, with their A and B groups starting at 6:00 PM. Our ride will be considered the C group, and by starting earlier, we'll be able to get in the longer route while still finishing around the same time as the main group.
Expect this to be a more challenging ride, with an average pace of about 14–16 mph. It will be no-drop, and everyone is encouraged to come out, challenge themselves, and enjoy the ride. I'll be sweeping from the back to make sure no one is left behind.
Please note: there are no bathrooms open at the start location, but there is a Stewart's just east on the rail trail if needed.
Hope to see you Thursday for a fun, strong ride!

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 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. Please download the RWGPS route to your bike computer or print the question sheet from the RWGPS link. See you there.

The CBRC cycling club will also be rolling out from this location, taking a longer and faster route, but both groups should start and finish at about the same time.
Please be aware that there are no bathrooms on site, but there is a Stewart's Shop just 1/4 miles from the start if you need one beforehand. You can also stop there on the way back as it is on the route along the rail trail just before ending the ride.
After the ride, we'll have the chance to hang out and relax using the picnic tables the owners have made available. Bring a drink and a snack if you'd like to stay after. Note: Rain at the start cancels the ride.
