Re: [RBW] Re: RBW 25 -Atlantic side of things
Magical is the best word i can use to describe the event. I wish I did not have to work on Sunday as I would have loved to jam with you guys! I was thinking that we could have held the high ground and saved the shire from any attacks the dark powers came with. There is no way they could have scaled those walls without joining us in merriment and fellowship. Spence On 25/09/2019 7:57 pm, rpeters.vetp...@gmail.com wrote: That's a great little video Alex!

Re: [RBW] Re: RBW 25 -Atlantic side of things
I am not on the Facebook so I can't post but we can gather on the lawn between the parking lot and the lake. I will grab a picnic table where you can see from the parking lot. Early arrivals will be able to park on top, I would think that we picked a weekend between summer and leaf peeping so not so crowded. Where or how do I drop a pin? so when ya get parked, just make your way over towards the grassy area between the parking lots and the lake, I will try to scope out a picnic table or 2. in the mornings, its generally dog walkers and hikers so it should be all good. Once a few of us find each other, it will become obvious one helpful thing to print or download is the park map, but they probably have them at the gate.

The parking lot up by the lake is great as you avoid the steep path up.

Also, if you have time or are staying over and you want some other riding, there is a Rail Trail starting down town that will run north and south, some of it is unpaved. Also the rail trail running east from town will connect you to the "Walkway over the Hudson" state park...not to be missed to ride across the Hudson river on a car free bridge, really nice and this trail continues east for miles, nice flat paved. For those that want more challenge, there are lots of gravel routes and road routes...just consult Ride with GPS or some such app. I think that the carriage trail loop will be great for a meetup and social ride.

I am thinking that I will hang out up on the top somewhere around the kiosk maybe making coffee and waiting on the fog to clear... it will be good! Some info about the area...if you are coming in from the NYS Thruway, you will head west on the state road towards New Paltz, New Paltz is a college town, there are restaurants, motels, stores...even a starbucks! then continue on up the Mt to Minnewaska. Also, if you have time or are staying over and you want some other riding, there is a Rail Trail starting down town that will run north and south, some of it is unpaved. Also the rail trail running east from town will connect you to the "Walkway over the Hudson" state park...not to be missed to ride across the Hudson river on a car free bridge, really nice and this trail continues east for miles, nice flat paved. For those that want more challenge, there are lots of gravel routes and road routes...just consult Ride with GPS or some such app. I think that the carriage trail loop will be great for a meetup and social ride.

Be sure to get there by 10am so you're sure to get a parking spot. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Re: RBW 25 -Atlantic side of things
Hey Alex! I hope all is well out in the middle!
I don't ever go there during the "season" but I bet it does get crowed
during the summer. I have always gone after Labor Day and never
experienced a crowd, mostly just pass a hiker or 2.
another Sunday activity would be to break camp, stop in the diner in New
Palz, then ride the "Walkway over the Hudson" park, there are several
places to park along the rail trail, then about 3 miles to the Hudson
River crossing...a must see if you have never been., that would put you
close to the thruway for heading home.

I lived in Gardiner for a year awhile back. Spencer or anybody else...do they
still give out a limited number of passes each day? I remember buying a season
pass for that reason. Unsure if this is still a concern...
Also, the Sunday brunch is a thing to behold at the Mohonk Mountain House. Pricey,
but it gives you access to the grounds for the day. There's a very cool rock
scramble ("the lemon squeeze) that I used to take guests on whenever I had
visitors. The start is quite close to the lake/Resort. If anyone has interest, let
me know.

Re: [RBW] Re: Shoes for rambling.
Hey, as far as toe over lap, it was a fear of mine but, really, it has not been a problem. I have not moved my saddle yet... I can say that the pedals look odd but feel great, really connected to the bike, I can push hard with no pain. It is a shame that they charge so much for them but if they allow me to keep on riding, it is money well spent On 2019-01-18 20:12, Surlyprof wrote: > Thanks for the follow up report, Spencer.
