“There is no place more awesome and gorgeous than the Hudson River Valley to experience the fall foliage. The bike route takes one through quaint towns and gentle rolling hills, and after an exercise-filled day, the evening always ends with a fabulous meal and exquisite wines. A wonderful way to see the best of New York State in fall-a trip we would definitely do again.”
