We will be heading down from Montreal to ride Taconic and Blue Mountain this weekend. I was wondering if there could be another trail network that is ready to ride on our route along the Hudson Valley? Our skill level is intermediate to advanced.

Also, what are the best brewpubs? I have so far found Peekskill Brewery, Hide Park Brewing, Millhouse Brewing & Newburgh Brewing. Any other to consider?

Thanks.

Sprain Ridge Park is a lot of fun, maybe 30 minutes south of Blue Mountain/Peekskill area on the same side of the river. For smoother, more hardpack riding you could head west from the Blue Mountain area and ride at Stewart State Forest in the Newburgh/Montgomery area on the other side of the river.

A few miles east of the Taconic Parkway on Rt 301 is Mt Nimham/Horsepound Ridge. This should be your top choice.

More like the capital region, but your route will take you right through Albany. If it's not too late, you might want to check out the trails at Skidmore in Saratoga Springs. They are fantastic: SMBA
