A few weeks ago I rode from the Poughkeepsie train station to Minnewaska. I think more than 90% of the ride was on rail trails, carriage rodes, or very lightly trafficked backroads.
The Poughkeepsie to New Paltz leg is rail trail all the way to the New York Thruway. Just across the river from, New Paltz, the new River to Ridge trail (which doesn't show up on Google maps yet) gets you into the Mohonk preserve. The Mohonk carriage roads get you up to where the footbridge crosses 44/55. A combination of carriage roads and back roads get you into Minnewaska, where you can take carriage roads to the main entrance. From there, you can ride all sorts of beautiful carriage roads. Some parts of the ride might be dicey on really skinny tires, but it's definitely not mountain biking. Here's my Ride With GPS route (there are a couple of wrong turns in there and I continued on to Kerhonkson after Minnewaska): https://ridewithgps.com/trips/40675222 Brad Queens On Monday, October 21, 2019 at 4:26:58 PM UTC-4, ScaD wrote: > > Just checking to see if anyone has a Fall ride (mostly low cars or light > off road if possible) that's easy to reach by train from NYC. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
