The 2018 Micro-Tour 01 will ride from 718 Cyclery on April 14th up through Westchester County to Mountain Lakes Park in North Salem, NY. These 62 miles will mostly be traversed at a calm elevation on protected bike lanes (Hudson River Greenway, South County Trailway and North County Trailway). Campsite will have access to portable bathrooms and water, but no electricity. Ride (Route Option 1) leaves 7am sharp from 718 Cyclery (or, you can make arrangements to meet group along the way). Ride back can be of the bike or train variety (heck, so can also ride the train up if you'd like!)
This trip is "Unsupported" (we are camping!), as riders will be responsible for their food and shelter. You will be among helpful friends, so don't fret! 718 Cyclery provides expert free advice on packing solutions you might be looking into. Also, we rent bags and gear at a discounted rate for Micro-Tourers (you can rent gear in "Booking:" link below)
