"Riding from the campground to the ride start/minnewaska parking lot is about 6 miles and 1,200 feet of elevation."
I'm trying to figure the best place to park--at the ride start or at Mohonk preserve and meet you at the campground. I usually ride up to 20 miles on flat ground at 10-11 mph (I can go longer on flat ground.) , so am not a strong rider. I have a hard time on steep hills. I don't know how to interpret the elevation information. Is this very steep? Or, is it just unrelenting and, therefore, tiring. Google says it's a 59 minute ride, which concerns me for a 6 mile stretch. Please don't overestimate my ability (or age) when responding. (Kai- can drop you off anywhere you want.) Thanks.
