Is anyone in the fourms from Dutchess County?

I work there, but live in Westchester. I haven't ridden up in Dutchess yet, but I did get a free set of maps marking NY's bike-friendly roads up there from the state DOT. Google should find them the request website, if you're interested.

Thanks. I will check it out. I have plenty of time before I actually hop on the bike. The snow looks like it will stick around for a while. Gotta move to a warmer climate.

I have found this site helpfull for finding cue sheets for rides in the Hudson Valley

I'm in the north portion of Dutchess on weekends (Red Hook/Rhinebeck area). Lots of good riding around there. You can ride over one of the bridges (Poughkeepsie, Kingston) for even more hills.

I would prefer not to ride on hills right away. I usually ride in Red Hook around the Greig Farm area and towards Tivoli near Bard College. I don't think I'm in shape yet for hills and mountains!
I will check the links to the bike routes. Thanks.

Yes! I am in Dutchess and just joined the forum.
Where do you ride?

Poughquag / Beekman resident.

Check out http://www.midhudsonbicycle.org if you haven't already.

I am! Just outside of Salt Point/Clinton Corners.

Hi folks,
I am no longer living in NY. Enjoy your biking!

LaGrange - close to 55 and Apple Valley.

Fishy, you are practically a neighbor!

Neighbors, indeed.

We actually try to ride in Beekman fairly often - LaGrange is lousy with traffic and we have to shoot towards Pleasant Valley or Beekman to get some relief. Riding north/west of 55 out your in the fall is spectacular.

I'm in Pawling and commute 2 or 3 days a week to work (arlington high school).
