Riga Ride...(6/30)

When: This Sunday 6/30 - Early AM start time

Where: Mt Riga area, start location TBA, Riga climb included

What: casual paced ride, 50-60 miles todal with bailout/cut option. Mix of groad and road.


More details to follow, but count on a scenic ride with some enjoyable climbing and dirty road action.

I will be there, mapping the ride tomorrow. Like Angry said, 50-60 miler, 5000ft of climbing. Going to try to start and end it somewhere fun so we can have some beers.

Sunday weather is looking perfect too. Temps are going to cool off a bit from what we're having this week. Looking forward to it!

Anyone else IN?

oh thats good. Says 30% chance or rain but a little shower might be kind of nice actually.

Have been looking at routes, will probably be a pretty chill ride minus Mt Riga... However, Mt Riga is a 1400ft climb it is a nice long climb, you are pretty much doing 3-5% the whole time and there are a lot of nice rest spots which are almost mandatory, its a beautiful place.

I will post the route either today or tomorrow.



edit - I have the day off and should probably be doing stuff around the house but planning this sounds a lot more fun. The famous Suarez family brewery is about 15 minutes by car from where I think we should be parking so maybe we finish up the ride and drive there and have some beers. I have always wanted to go, everyone is always telling me how amazing that place is.

Ok, I think I got something good here -

Route - https://ridewithgps.com/routes/30387133





Not too bad, 50 miler, 4500ft up. Should be a nice mix of pavement and gravel. Riga and Mt Washington.

Parking will be here -



I have never parked there but found the map of the state park and looked for parking and said parking is free.


Places to stop and get water/food -

Salisbury, CT - Stoped there last time, got a slice of Pizza and was pretty damn good. Right before Riga so nice place to fuel up. This is about mile 25.

Copake, NY - Around mile 40. Seems to have a few restaurants and grocery stores, ect.


3 State ride, who else is in? I was thinking start at 9am (meet there 8:45, leave at 9) ? What you think Nick?

3 states, 2 mountains, dirt roads and a brewery stop? what's not to love?

sounds perfect.

you're going to have to give me a little better hint at how to find the parking lot though than that screenshot

weather is looking intereting. 50% thunderstorms. I don't mind a shower here and there but lets hope that is it. Temperature is nice, high of 75. Probably the last weekend of under 90 degrees lol

The address of New Forge State Forest was right on the website, staring right in my face

https://www.google.com/maps?daddr=42.105796,-73.672797

Is everyone ok with meeting there at 8:45 and start the ride at 9 sharp?
