Going to be in the area for work, but hoping to bring my bike. I'll have late afternoons free. Can anyone recommend any riding out that way? I'll have a car, so driving is no problem.
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.
Thanks for all the suggestions and the link to fatsinthecats. I'm lucky to be able to ride on this work trip, and psyched to ride some new (to me) trails.
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!
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.
