Loop routes for your electric bike in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania

# Mile after mile of electric biking rapture.

## Electric Bike Routes Along the Prettiest Backroads, Foothills and Farmlands of the Hudson Valley, Catskill Mountains and Western Connecticut.

The scenic hinterlands of the Hudson Valley, Catskill Mountains and western Connecticut are a paradise for bicyclists. Secret rough-road networks of routes through mountain folds, foothills, hemlock ravines, pastures. Lonely byways where wildflowers abound in summer. Colorful, interesting towns; elegant old estates shoulder to shoulder with odd dwellings and mountain homes. Quality coffee and distinctive, local brews. Pet goats. BBQ.

The dirt roads and pathways selected for these routes are perfectly suited to the hybrid, or mountain, electric (or pedal-assist) bicycle. Never too steep or challenging, you leave the monotony of the rail trail behind and open yourself to surprises around the next corner.

And your e-bike is uniquely suited for these places. If it was the hills that kept you from the country roads, the electric bike flattens them out and lifts you up and over; now is your chance to really explore the Catskills and Berkshire foothills. If your e-bike has wider tires than your traditional road bike, you can turn down those remote, rural, rugged roads and see what few of the skinny tire riders get to see. Dirt roads are self-limiting, and that’s a good thing.

These routes are usually not longer than 20 miles or so, suiting a cycling style that's more sight-seeing and picture-taking than energy-expending.

Shimmering Mohonk Lake lies at the heart of this route, but is by no means the only attraction. Climb to the top of the ridge for sweeping views, then cruise under the canopy of cool pine and hemlock. A magnificent ride through the jewel of the Shawangunk Ridge.

Please note! If you purchase an annual membership to Mohonk Preserve, this entitles you to 7am entry, plus free parking/no entry fee. Otherwise, the day pass to ride the trails is $20.00 for cyclists. (less)
