Mike and Gil - by Joy Moore copy.webpThese Saugerties bike routes, which you can download, print and use as a guide, were the brain-child of the late Gil Hales and Mike Harkavy, two Saugerties notables who thought bike paths would enhance our Village and Town and who went out and made it happen, with a big photography assist from photographers Joy Moore and Barbara Bravo.

Besides their obvious health benefits, the paths take advantage of Saugerties' scenic beauty and rich heritage.  The routes include views of the Hudson River, Esopus Creek, serene marshlands, and outstanding views of the Catskill Mountains.

From this very page, you can download and print the 4 panels (PDF files) that make up the flyer, under "Documents" below.

Also in the "Documents" section is a map showing where bike racks are located.

And under "Images" below, you can see a sampling of the many scenes you'll encounter on a ride along the Saugerties Bike Routes.  (The photo upper right, taken by Joy Moore, shows Gil Hales and Mike Harkavy, in the days of mapping this all out.)
