- 9ATour/144646.046.00Wednesday Morning WaterfrontKim Hanson
The weather forecast is calling for afternoon showers, so I put together a ride with lots of opportunities to cut it short if necessary. But the good news is that it is supposed to stay in the 70s. There are no big climbs so I upped our expected pace.
We go past the same Stewarts twice, once around mile 14 and again at mile 29.

- 10:30ASport/124141.241.20Canajoharie PlateausBill Little
It's Back! This is the (hopefully) still popular ride from downtown Canajoharie, exploring the plateaus on both sides of the Mohawk River by way of a mid-point in Fort Plain. Thanks to Chris Hess for the original route, from which this deviates in places, for the better I think. This route involves long ups and downs on both sides of the river, and the reward is a series of expansive valley views. There is a Stewarts in Fort Plain, where we can stop and fuel up. There will be Saturday morning traffic in both Towns, requiring that you ride defensively.
Please download the route to your bike computer or print out the cue sheet. If at any time during the ride you wish to shorten your ride and head back to the start, please call and alert the ride leader at 518-861-8769. Rain or strong winds at the start may cause postponemnt or cancellation.

- 10ASport/144039.839.80Solstice Ride from the HUBTerry Peters
Ths is an awesome route! Come enjoy the longest day of the year with your pals from MHCC.
This route takes care of the elevation first and is relatively flat for the last half of the ride. Starting from the Hub, we head to Chestertown to cycle along the east side of Friends lake passing Circle B Ranch where we can wave to the horses along the way. Once we get to the Glen we will cross the Hudson River and travel on the scenic west side until we will come to the Hickory Ski Center. The last section takes us along the Schroon River back to the Hub.
Please plan to stay for a bit at the Hub and maybe plan our next ride.
Weather in the ADK is everchanging. If it looks like a washout I'll cancel (or delay) by 7:30.
- 7:30AMulti-pace/122525.325.30Sunday Morning Wake Up RideJohn Petiet

It's an extendo since we never cross NYS Route 20, but this time we will. Rain at start cancelled the ride. Please print out a cue sheet or download the RWGPS route to your phone or GPS device. I plan to lead from the back.

- 10ACasual/123231.531.50Tuesday Morning Casual - Solstice EditionGary Toth
A solstice ride is traditionally a long evening ride on the longest day of the year to take advantage of the late sunset. Instead we're doing it in the morning, and we're doing 50 kilometers, not 50 miles.
A casual, social ride for those who don't want to chase the hammerheads up steep climbs. Inexperienced riders welcome and encouraged. Average target pace is 12 mph, but a bit slower or faster is fine. Routes are flat to rolling.
Leader rides at the back, no one left behind. Rain cancels ride, cancellation posted by 8 am.

- 5:30PTour/153030.030.00Thursday “4 Corners Ride” DelmarMichelle DePuy
Join us this Thursday for the 4 Corners Ride! We'll roll out at 5:30 PM from the former Real McCoy Brewery location in Delmar, next to Brewtus Coffee. The route is approximately 30 miles, with the main climb being Relea. It's a great opportunity to build endurance, improve speed, and gain confidence on the bike in a supportive group setting.
Riders of all abilities are welcome, and this is a great chance to challenge yourself while riding with others who encourage and support one another. Whether you're looking to get stronger, ride a little farther, or simply enjoy a fun evening on the bike, we'd love to have you join us.
CBRC Biking will also be riding the same route with a 6:00 PM start. Our earlier rollout gives us the opportunity for a slightly longer ride while still finishing around the same time as the main group.
This week's ride will be a bit more spirited, with an expected average pace of 14–16 mph, but it remains a true no-drop ride. No one will be left behind, and I'll be sweeping from the rear to help keep everyone together and supported throughout the ride.
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 there for a great ride and a fun evening together!
