A group of us did this ride a few years back. It is a 65-75 mile ride with two decent climbs. The first is very early in the ride and the last is at the end. Since we will all be tourists we will regroup at the top of the climbs and keep it together. We can meet at a central location and carpool. It is a little over 2hr to New Paltz. If we leave at 5:30AM we should be able to start at 8 or 8:30 at the latest. After the ride we can grab a lunch at the Gilded Otter, and some of their microbrew and be home for dinner.

Here is a link to the cue sheet and map of the ride http://www.roberts-1.com/bikehudson/r/west/np_ash/map/index.htm
