Please sign the list at the bottom of this webpage, so we can keep you in the loop. COVID Comments The COVID pandemic and state regulations are constantly changing. On this weekend, we will be traveling to, from and around New York, Massachusetts and Connecticut. There will be indoor events. Each member should keep abreast of all current regulations and comply with any masking, testing and quarantine regulations that may be in effect. Watch this page, your email and the Message Board for any COVID-related updates. <pre style="font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana; -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Getting There Some of us will cycle from NYC. Others will take a train, and then ride from the train. Others will come by car or bus. For more information about travel and lodging, please scroll down. If you’re cycling part of the way, you’ll need to either pack light or arrange with a driver to carry your luggage. We suggest you use the Message Board to arrange for a ride for your luggage.</pre> <div> </div> <div>Trains</div> <div> </div> <div>Group reservations on the Metro-North Harlem and Hudson Lines are once again available. So, there will be reserved train rides to Poughkeepsie, Southeast, Dover Plains and/or Wassaic on Friday. From there, you'll continue by bike to the Sheffield/Great Barrington area, and back again on Monday. Watch the Ride Listings and Message Board for the latest updates. You must sign up in the Ride Listings in order to reserve a spot on the train.</div> <div> </div> <div>Also, you can ride MNR as individuals. Group reservations are preferred and more reliable, but not strictly required if only a few cyclists are traveling together.  </div> <div> </div> <div>NYCC members must comply with all MNR regulations. At this writing, masks must be worn at all times on MNR property, regardless of vaccination or distancing.</div> <div> </div> <div> Our Rides A wide variety of A, B and C rides for NYCC members will be listed in our Ride Listings, led by experienced NYCC ride leaders. We’ll probably be adding additional rides until just before the weekend, so keep coming back to the Ride Listings to see what’s new. There may be rides to and from NYC (~130mi). Other rides may start with a train from Grand Central, followed by a 40-60mi scenic ride from the train to Sheffield/Great Barrington (and back on Monday). There may be local rides Friday and Monday mornings for those who come up early or leave late. Saturday is our All-Class ride to Lakeville. There won't be any other listed rides on Saturday. Sunday we’ll have 30-80mi rides around the area, including mountains, valleys, and cultural sites. Some rides will be flatter, some will be knee-breakers. Something for everyone. Where Our Rides Meet Most A and B rides will start at 9am at the <a href="https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=491+Berkshire+School+Rd,+Sheffield,+MA+01257+(Southern+Berkshire+School+District)&sll=42.142914,-73.360519&sspn=0.084897,0.178699&ie=UTF8&ll=42.113123,-73.360004&spn=0.084937,0.178699&z=13">Southern Berkshire School District</a> at 491 Berkshire School Road in Sheffield (not to be confused with “The Berkshire School,” which is nearby).  Most C rides will start at the Quality Inn (formerly Day’s Inn) in Great Barrington. </div> Social Events In addition to great rides planned for A, B and C levels (posted in NYCC's Ride Listings), the following social events will also be held: Saturday, May 28th:  All-Class Ride to Lakeville On Saturday, our rides will converge for a picnic lunch at Lake Wononskopomuc (or you can just say “Lakeville Lake”) in CT. There will be three different routes: the A’s will ride approximately 65 miles, the B’s about 50 miles, the C’s around 40.  Also this year, en route to Lakeville, the Trinity Church in Lime Rock will again be holding its really delicious bake sale this year, which usually includes sandwiches, pastries, coffee and other beverages, in addition to a restroom stop. Also, lunch can be purchased at the On-the-Run Coffee Shop in Lakeville, or carried from home Saturday, May 28th: Saturday Dinner at Barrington Brewery Our annual NYCC dinner at the Barrington Brewery & Restaurant, where we will gather to eat, talk and meet up with old friends and new friends.

Lodging Participants make their own arrangements for accommodations. Depending on the class of ride you will be doing, you may want to stay near either Sheffield (most A and B rides) or Great Barrington (most C rides).  On the other hand, it’s only 7mi from one town to the other, which is a nice warmup if you’re riding to your start point. At this point, we don't know if anyone will be offering NYCC discounts. Accommodations vary from full-service hotels to country inns to B&Bs. Room shares and house shares may be posted on the <a href="http://www.nycc.org/message-board">NYCC Message Board</a>.   Another possibility for lodging: <a href="http://www.berkshires.org">www.berkshires.org</a>. Click on "Where to Stay” and they’ll give you all kinds of suggestions. <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Airbnb</a> is another resource.

Please sign the list at the bottom of this webpage, so we can keep you in the loop. COVID Comments The COVID pandemic and state regulations are constantly changing. On this weekend, we will be traveling to, from and around New York, Massachusetts and Connecticut. There will be indoor events. Each member should keep abreast of all current regulations and comply with any masking, testing and quarantine regulations that may be in effect. Watch this page, your email and the Message Board for any COVID-related updates. <pre style="font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana; -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Getting There Some of us will cycle from NYC. Others will take a train, and then ride from the train. Others will come by car or bus. For more information about travel and lodging, please scroll down. If you’re cycling part of the way, you’ll need to either pack light or arrange with a driver to carry your luggage. We suggest you use the Message Board to arrange for a ride for your luggage.</pre> <div> </div> <div>Trains</div> <div> </div> <div>Group reservations on the Metro-North Harlem and Hudson Lines are once again available. So, there will be reserved train rides to Poughkeepsie, Southeast, Dover Plains and/or Wassaic on Friday. From there, you'll continue by bike to the Sheffield/Great Barrington area, and back again on Monday. Watch the Ride Listings and Message Board for the latest updates. You must sign up in the Ride Listings in order to reserve a spot on the train.</div> <div> </div> <div>Also, you can ride MNR as individuals. Group reservations are preferred and more reliable, but not strictly required if only a few cyclists are traveling together.  </div> <div> </div> <div>NYCC members must comply with all MNR regulations. At this writing, masks must be worn at all times on MNR property, regardless of vaccination or distancing.</div> <div> </div> <div> Our Rides A wide variety of A, B and C rides for NYCC members will be listed in our Ride Listings, led by experienced NYCC ride leaders. We’ll probably be adding additional rides until just before the weekend, so keep coming back to the Ride Listings to see what’s new. There may be rides to and from NYC (~130mi). Other rides may start with a train from Grand Central, followed by a 40-60mi scenic ride from the train to Sheffield/Great Barrington (and back on Monday). There may be local rides Friday and Monday mornings for those who come up early or leave late. Saturday is our All-Class ride to Lakeville. There won't be any other listed rides on Saturday. Sunday we’ll have 30-80mi rides around the area, including mountains, valleys, and cultural sites. Some rides will be flatter, some will be knee-breakers. Something for everyone. Where Our Rides Meet Most A and B rides will start at 9am at the <a href="https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=491+Berkshire+School+Rd,+Sheffield,+MA+01257+(Southern+Berkshire+School+District)&sll=42.142914,-73.360519&sspn=0.084897,0.178699&ie=UTF8&ll=42.113123,-73.360004&spn=0.084937,0.178699&z=13">Southern Berkshire School District</a> at 491 Berkshire School Road in Sheffield (not to be confused with “The Berkshire School,” which is nearby).  Most C rides will start at the Quality Inn (formerly Day’s Inn) in Great Barrington. </div> Social Events In addition to great rides planned for A, B and C levels (posted in NYCC's Ride Listings), the following social events will also be held: Saturday, May 28th:  All-Class Ride to Lakeville On Saturday, our rides will converge for a picnic lunch at Lake Wononskopomuc (or you can just say “Lakeville Lake”) in CT. There will be three different routes: the A’s will ride approximately 65 miles, the B’s about 50 miles, the C’s around 40.  Also this year, en route to Lakeville, the Trinity Church in Lime Rock will again be holding its really delicious bake sale this year, which usually includes sandwiches, pastries, coffee and other beverages, in addition to a restroom stop. Also, lunch can be purchased at the On-the-Run Coffee Shop in Lakeville, or carried from home Saturday, May 28th: Saturday Dinner at Barrington Brewery Our annual NYCC dinner at the Barrington Brewery & Restaurant, where we will gather to eat, talk and meet up with old friends and new friends. We’ll welcome our Berkshires first-timers and share the great experiences of our NYCC Berkshires Weekend. We've arranged a prix-fixe menu of delicious options for omnivores, vegetarians, and vegans. Non-member guests are welcome at our dinner.  The menu is posted on the NYCC Message Board, and linked below. The price for dinner is $40.00 per person, including taxes and tips. Please pay via the PayPal link at the top of this page.

Please register and pay at the PayPal link by Tuesday, May 24, 2022 at 12:00 noon. If you can't register by noon on May 24, feel free to join us individually. Call Barrington Brewery at the number below for reservations and any questions you may have about joining the NYCC group. However, since this is a restaurant, we can't guarantee seating unless you've signed up in advance. Also, if you're not having dinner, why not come by for drinks and snacks at the bar.

Dining Out A lot of the area dining is centered on Railroad Avenue in Great Barrington. Some of the restaurants may set up outdoor seating.  Berkshires Calendar of Events (non-NYCC events) Don’t forget to check out the local Berkshires Calendar of Events <a href="http://berkshires.org/events/">http://berkshires.org/events/</a> for a Memorial Day Weekend full of exciting, fun and delicious happenings, from wine and food festivals to summer concerts. Lodging Participants make their own arrangements for accommodations. Depending on the class of ride you will be doing, you may want to stay near either Sheffield (most A and B rides) or Great Barrington (most C rides).  On the other hand, it’s only 7mi from one town to the other, which is a nice warmup if you’re riding to your start point. At this point, we don't know if anyone will be offering NYCC discounts. Accommodations vary from full-service hotels to country inns to B&Bs. Room shares and house shares may be posted on the <a href="http://www.nycc.org/message-board">NYCC Message Board</a>.   Another possibility for lodging: <a href="http://www.berkshires.org">www.berkshires.org</a>. Click on "Where to Stay” and they’ll give you all kinds of suggestions. <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Airbnb</a> is another resource.

We’ll probably be adding additional rides until just before the weekend, so keep coming back to the Ride Listings to see what’s new. There may be rides to and from NYC (~130mi). Other rides may start with a train from Grand Central, followed by a 40-60mi scenic ride from the train to Sheffield/Great Barrington (and back on Monday). There may be local rides Friday and Monday mornings for those who come up early or leave late. Saturday is our All-Class ride to Lakeville. There won't be any other listed rides on Saturday. Sunday we’ll have 30-80mi rides around the area, including mountains, valleys, and cultural sites. Some rides will be flatter, some will be knee-breakers. Something for everyone.

There will be three different routes: the A’s will ride approximately 65 miles, the B’s about 50 miles, the C’s around 40.  Also this year, en route to Lakeville, the Trinity Church in Lime Rock will again be holding its really delicious bake sale this year, which usually includes sandwiches, pastries, coffee and other beverages, in addition to a restroom stop. Also, lunch can be purchased at the On-the-Run Coffee Shop in Lakeville, or carried from home Saturday, May 28th: Saturday Dinner at Barrington Brewery Our annual NYCC dinner at the Barrington Brewery & Restaurant, where we will gather to eat, talk and meet up with old friends and new friends.

Lodging Participants make their own arrangements for accommodations. Depending on the class of ride you will be doing, you may want to stay near either Sheffield (most A and B rides) or Great Barrington (most C rides).  On the other hand, it’s only 7mi from one town to the other, which is a nice warmup if you’re riding to your start point. At this point, we don't know if anyone will be offering NYCC discounts. Accommodations vary from full-service hotels to country inns to B&Bs.

Lodging Participants make their own arrangements for accommodations. Depending on the class of ride you will be doing, you may want to stay near either Sheffield (most A and B rides) or Great Barrington (most C rides).  On the other hand, it’s only 7mi from one town to the other, which is a nice warmup if you’re riding to your start point. At this point, we don't know if anyone will be offering NYCC discounts. Accommodations vary from full-service hotels to country inns to B&Bs. Room shares and house shares may be posted on the <a href="http://www.nycc.org/message-board">NYCC Message Board</a>.   Another possibility for lodging: <a href="http://www.berkshires.org">www.berkshires.org</a>. Click on "Where to Stay” and they’ll give you all kinds of suggestions. <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Airbnb</a> is another resource. Sharing To share lodgings or automobile rides to, from and around the Berkshires, feel free to post or respond to such posts on the <a href="http://www.nycc.org/message-board">NYCC Message Board</a>.  <hr>   NYCC members have stayed at the following accommodations during the Berkshires Weekends.  This list has no particular order, implies no preferences and by no means includes all possibilities.
