Next Thursday, October 1 – we’re hitting the road from Albany, NY to Boston, MA.  Our bicycles are tuned and our bags are packed.

Celebration Cycle Day 1 will be a challenging journey out of Albany, through Harold’s childhood home of Averill Park, and over the Berkshire mountains!

Remember, if you can’t join us on the ride, you can join us in spirit by making a donation to Mass General Hospital and asking your friends and family to become organ donors!

We’re really excited for Day 1 of the ride.  Here’s a quick peek at some highlights:

The Send Off Party @ Saville Road Bicycle Shop

9:00 am – Coffee & Donuts

9:30 am – roll out!

Helderberg Hudson Rail Trail

Harold is a train and railroad aficionado!  He’s been tracking the progress of the Helderberg Hudson Rail Trail and we’re excited that the Delmar to Albany section is complete!

Special Cycling Guest – Audrey Koester!

Audrey was the head librarian and my advisor at Albany Academy for Girls when Harold received his heart transplant in 1995.  She’s an avid cyclist – and we’re excited to have her join us on part 1 of this epic journey!

Finish @ The Porches Inn

The Berkshires are the best in the Fall!  We’ll put up our feet for a night’s rest and enjoy the Autumn leaves.
