Going to be in the Saugerties/Millbrook area for a few days. Any riding?

Some good resorts around that are definitely worth checking out if you're into downhilling, Hunter, Windham, Jiminy Peak, Plattekill. Not sure of anything for XC...however the Ferncliff Forest Preserve across the bridge near Rhinebeck is really nice, tons of trails good for biking, XC and downhill type stuff plus its free and open in the evenings, which the resorts are not.
FYI, Jockey Hill is in Kingston and is well worth riding.
Jockey Hill and Onteora Lake sit next to each other on Rt 28 outside of Kingston, go for it!
Also, search for Mount Beacon, it's close to Millbrook.

check out Shawpeneuk Reserve in Ulster Park. 3 moderate/difficult XC loops and a 2 mile DH shuttle. Also the "Buffer Zone" at Strewart/Newburgh Airport. Awsome XC singletrack. Fast, natural berms, not too much climbing, butter trails!
If you go to New Paltz.

How do you know Mike? I went to H.S with him. Went seperate ways and 10+ years later I bump into him at a bike shop in New Paltz where he is the co-owner. Awsome! Bicycle Depot is kind enough to provide me with rider support. I'm the only DH'er on their "team." Nice group of guys.
