About this event


Meet in Grand Central Station 9 AM, 10/3/2024, buy ticket, travel to Poughkeepsie Station, cycle to New Paltz (on bike trails) to lunch, then to campground.

Depart camp ground on Saturday 10/5 (Check-out by 10AM). Option to ride carriage trails with bikes fully loaded, or head back.

Mountain, Touring or Hybrid bikes required. We will be riding on road and trails.

$111 Fee covers cost of campsites & trip. You will need to cover costs of transportation to and from Poughkeepsie and your meals. (There is a bonfire at Camp headquarters but fires are not allowed at campsites.)

This is for experienced campers with appropriate bike racks and camping gear.  Nighttime can be cold. If you have never bike camped, this may not be your cup of tea. We will ride rain or shine.
