This review is from: Ride Guide Hudson Valley, New Paltz to Staten Island (Ride Guides) (Paperback)

Oh my god! Is this guy for real or what? Clearly, Dan Goldfischer did not ride this route himself and whoever penned the map has a sick sense of humor. Mr. Goldfischer refers to the terrain as gently rolling, huh?, as we were climbing the many hills our panting was accompanied by cars and motorcycles straining to get up these hills. In fact, when we stopped for directions because the map was so out of scale-people said that they would not want to drive their cars on those roads. It felt like we were being waved off by Billy Crystal in The Princess Bride as he comments to his wife that it will take a miracle. Mr. Goldfischer mentions that an average rider would have no trouble with this ride, he is just dead wrong. The three of us are above average riders, one having riden across the U.S. and most of Europe. Do not go on this ride without driving the route and making corrections on the map. The traffic was constant to heavy on a Sunday morning. Find another ride guide this one sucks.
