This weekend adventure is for all fitness levels and all body types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn Saturday we cycle 37 miles almost entirely on the bike trail, which means there are as few hills as possible. The final mile after the Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge is our only non-Empire State Trail mileage. We will have one night camping in the forest where there are several lean-tos, plenty of space for tents and hammocks, and a portapotty for shared use. On Sunday we have a slow morning and enjoy several hours in camp before packing up and retracing our route back to the train station in Poughkeepsie. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're new to camping or new to using your bike frame to carry camping equipment, this is an easy trial to see if you like it. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan id=\"docs-internal-guid-e8a87b70-7fff-1f79-d33c-229fddba5415\"\u003eExperienced riders will enjoy a trip with plenty of time off the bike, a relaxed cycling pace, and all the details taken care of. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat To Expect: \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-trip group info session by video call \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan id=\"docs-internal-guid-8a7133b3-7fff-4c52-0c6b-bc9c3cc0db05\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"Meet Your Guide\" href=\"https:\/\/lichenbiketours.com\/pages\/meet-your-guide\"\u003eYour guide\u003c\/a\u003e will ensure that nobody is left alone with a flat tire or carrying too heavy a load\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eRoute starts and ends with scenic \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/walkway.org\/\" title=\"Walkway Over the Hudson\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eWalkway Over the Hudson\u003c\/a\u003e and halfway through is another vista on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wallkillvalleylt.org\/wvrt\/\" title=\"Wallkill Valley Rail Trail website\"\u003ethe Rosendale Trestle\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 night of camping with permits at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ferncliffforest.org\/\" title=\"Ferncliff Forest info page\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ea forest preserve\u003c\/a\u003e with phone service, walking trails and a fire tower with a great view\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStops in New Paltz and Kingston for food, coffee, ice cream, and water refills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible arrivals - riders have the option to drive to the campground in their personal vehicle instead of cycling to the train station on Saturday\/Sunday.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCPR and Wilderness First Aid (WFA) certified guide carrying first aid kit \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lichen Bike Tours","offers":[{"title":"Bring Your Own","offer_id":48786716065949,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rent a regular 1 person tent","offer_id":48786716098717,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Rent a Durston X-Dome 1+ person tent","offer_id":48786716131485,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rent a 2 person tent","offer_id":48786716164253,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/6069\/3405\/files\/1.png?v=1786468664","url":"https:\/\/lichenbiketours.com\/products\/sep-12-13-weekend-overnight-poughkeepsie-to-ferncliff-forest","provider":"Lichen Bike Tours","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
