Is there anyone here going? My ride cancelled on me in the last minute and am scrambling to figure out a way to make it up there. Thanks!

There's a local cab company who accepts bikes - https://jonsvillagetaxi.com

When I rode with them from New Paltz to Poughkeepsie, it was $35, but that's on top of the MNR fare, not the most economical option... but if you can't find anything else might be worth it

Thanks, unfortunately MNR does not run trains earlier to make it for the start time.

Ooh! I took the 1am train up to Poughkeepsie last week. Bring layers!

The 16 mile approach up to the Mohonk Preserve's visitor center isn't too bad if you want to bike to the start

I don’t mind the extra ride, what can I do/stay for 4 or 5 hours there that late?
