Ken and Sharon,

Thanks so much for your website and information!
I'm planning the above ride for October 24th with some local club members
(Westchester Cycle Club). I'd like to use your A+B variations to make
the ride less hilly, but would like to find out if we can still go through
Ancramdale without
hitting the bigger hills? Can we go up 22 from Millerton and then West to
connect to the
ride up to Ancramdale? How hilly would that be?

Also, in case of problems on the ride, is cell phone service limited in that
area?
Does 911 work?

Would love to talk with you by phone at your convenience.
I am a relatively new rider (began in April) and have now logged 1400 miles
since then on my
heavy Fuji comfort/commuter bike and have begun to lead some C+ rides for our
club
(12.5-14 mph)

Looking forward to your response.
With appreciation, Ave
