NE 2024 State Capitol Rally - September 19 - 22 [NY]

[johnnylunchbox]

Registration is open: https://concours.org/event-5668639

The rumor of the COG NE Fall Rally’s demise has been greatly exaggerated! The location will be East Greenbush, NY, and this is known as the “Capitol Region” of NY. It is on the east side of the Hudson River on the outskirts of the state capitol, Albany.

Come join us for what is sure to be a great event. If you weren't able to make it to the national rally and need a little rally fix, or you're simply raging against the dying of the light and want one last hurrah before the cold of winter sets in, we’re here for you...

GPX files will be uploaded as they become available. There is no shortage of excellent riding in and around the capitol region of NY, the Hudson Valley in general, and into New England.

I will be sporadically posting points of interest as we inch closer to the rally date. Hope you can all join us. It would be my pleasure to see you all.

At 3,491 feet, Mount Greylock is the highest point in Massachusetts. From its peak on a clear day, you can see as far as 90 miles away. No matter when you visit, there's plenty to do and see.

On a nice day, it is a pleasant free tourist attraction to get off the bike and take a stroll. There are several eateries nearby, and a cafe/gelato shop near the east side of the Bridge of Flowers.
