For those of you who have been to Columbia County, you know it's beautiful and there are wide open roads for great riding. The Rail Trail offers more even level riding opportunities and will ultimately connect communities along almost 50 miles of trails. The next piece will fund the piece connecting Copake Falls to Hillsdale (right near our house). The piece they opened this summer is smooth, tree covered and beautiful.
I will be riding in the 5th Annual Roe Jan Ramble Tour next month to raise money for this cause.
Thank you for helping make this dream a reality!

Roe Jan Ramble Bike Tour
The Roe Jan Ramble Bike Tour is a free ride, sponsored by the towns of Ancram, Copake and Hillsdale, NY. Cyclists have a choice of four routes, each of which travels through the beautiful Roe Jan area. More info at www.roejanramble.org
All participants have the option of raising money for the Harlem Valley Rail Trail to help extend the rail trail through the Roe Jan area.
The Roe Jan Ramble Bike Tour is sponsored by the Towns of Copake, Hillsdale, and Ancram, New York. This free public event raises funds to support the Harlem Valley Rail Trail Association. The Harlem Valley Rail Trail Association (HVRTA) was founded in 1986 and incorporated in 1995 as a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization dedicated to advocating for completion of the rail trail in Dutchess & Columbia Counties, New York. HVRTA’s core mission includes partnering with public and private agencies, leading volunteer efforts to assist with trail maintenance, raising capital for purchasing rights-of-way, and offering trail design expertise to public and private agencies.
