Sep 4-5 -- Catskills Lean-To bikepacking overnighter

This trip includes a unique t-shirt. We're headed to the Catskill Plateau for an overnight camp deep in the woods. We leave from Hudson, NY and camp at a lean-to shelter in the Great Northern Catskills. 

This is the most challenging ride of our season because we start at sea level and camp at 3400ft with just 40 miles and lots of climbing in between. Day 2 we descend to town for breakfast at a diner, and then complete our return journey of 60 miles. Road surfaces are mostly paved with some gravel, and there's a mile and a half hike-a-bike to/from the shelter that is ridable on mtb tires.
