Notes -
- Note (1). There is a short alternate. Pick up
Brown Road on the left a little south of Berkshire. It comes back to NY38 in
a couple miles.
- Note (2). Group will probably have to split-up for lunch, food venues are small.
- Note (3). The much longer portion of the ride is before lunch. Ride can be done in reverse direction. But the climb going west on NY79 is steeper than coming east, and occurs right after lunch.
