Details

Event Type Bike Tour Description South of Albany, bicycling opportunities and history abound. It was here in the Town of Bethlehem that Henry Hudson dropped anchor during his epic voyage of 1609 in the heart of what was then Mohican territory. Join us in downtown Delmar for this 22 mile tour beginning with a ride on the newly opened Helderberg Hudson Rail Trail to Slingerlands. We'll ride the open back roads to the Hudson River waterfront, visit an 18th century mansion and cemetery and stop at a museum. The last leg of our tour includes a stop at the site of a Native American settlement before riding through the spectacuar Normans Kill gorge and back to our starting spot.
