John G & Bob B, The first time I rode the OCA, I was on one of the Fall iBOB rides about 10 years ago. You can find maps on the internet, but riding with someone else is the easiest way to figure out the route when the OCA trail disappears and reappears.
I rode on the Bike Snob pre-Grand Fondont ride this weekend. Eben put together a route that used the OCA trail and the Putnam Trailway. I've ridden both trails a lot, but Eben's course used a lot of weird little connectors to shift between them. Last weekend's ride was a test. The real Grand Fondont is coming up in June. I'd recommend it if you're trying to find interesting rides out of NYC. Brad On Monday, April 24, 2017 at 1:14:01 PM UTC-4, John G. wrote: > > Thanks again for the tips, everyone.
