Catskills 3-day Loop

Enjoyed some highlights of the Catskills this weekend. Amazing weather and late season quiet. 3 days, 2 nights, in and out of Poughkeepsie.

Sights and scenes:
Overlook mountain
Peekamoose Blue Hole
Pip’s Restaurant (iykyk)
Vernooy Kill
Awosting Falls

The route was a tad ambitious and requires good fitness (or patience & gears 😅).

If I did it again, I’d take the longer gentler climb from Woodstock to the Overlook trailhead; I’d look for more gravel, and I wouldn’t forget my water bottle leaving the house 🤦🏻‍♂️ other folk with more local knowledge might choose a a more elegant route to include to Pip’s.

Bike is a Crust Romanceür with a hodgepodge of parts. 650b x 48mm tires. Bags are Fabio’s chest up front, green guru hauler in back, and something from the junk bin in the frame.
