- 10ACasual/122222.422.40Thursday Morning CasualGary Toth
Start time 10 am for the remaider of the season.
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.
The route covers the familiar area between Nassau and Valatie, about half on the AHET and half on surrounding roads. If there is residual snow on the AHET, we'll improvise and ride on parallel roads
Leader rides at the back, no one left behind. Rain, snow or temperature of 35 or lessat start cancels ride.

- 11ASport/123636.336.30Voorheesville-Altamont-Knox-Thacher loopBill Little
A Full Fall Fling. Do you still have your fall legs? This ride will start at Voorheesville Hannafords, roll over to Altamont, ascend to Knox and return via Thacher Park. Start time is 11:00 AM to allow for the temperature to rise a bit. For the distance, there aren't too many hills, but the climbing is mostly between miles 11 and 23. This is a great way to see the hills and dales of Knox an Berne and enjoy the overlook at Thacher before descending back to Vooheesville. Note that this route avoids most of the Route 85 descent into New Salem by going down Old New Salem Road. By some measures, Old Salem road is more a steep descent but much less trafficked.
This is a no drop ride so please bear in mind that the climbing is within a discrete part of the route, as noted above. We will regroup at major intersections and Thacher Park overlook. If at any time during the ride you choose to abandon the route, please call and advise the ride leader (518-861-8769). Rain at the start will cause ride cancellation; however, as of posting (11/4/25) the skies appear to be fair on the 15th.
