| I contacted the Hudson River Railroad, They will allow bikes on the tourist train. this could be a great bike activity. follow this link for details, it will leave Saratoga about 10 am, $13 one way coach, $19 roundtrip...Dome car is more expensive.
www.sncrr.com.
I believe that the trip is about 59 miles.... It could be a great day excursion, for cyclists, to ride the train up, and cycle back. Following the river back to corinth, then down 9N , is not too hilly. |
