Hudson Valley, NY Bike Tours

In the Hudson Valley, farms are an essential part of the landscape and a deeply-rooted reminder of America’s agrarian identity. So while biking in Dutchess County is full of field-to-glass tastings and farm-to-table fine dining, there’s so much more about this region that makes it New York’s best-kept cycling secret.

On a bike, you’ll reach Rockwellian towns like Millerton, dotted with coffee shops and mom-and-pop bakeries, or spin out among the wide-open pastures that stretch between Rhinebeck estates to really open it up. There are rolling hills, covered bridges, and river views aplenty—and the Hudson Valley’s countryside is well-connected by bike paths, rail trails, and quiet country roads. This isn’t just a beautiful place to ride, it’s a little slice of pastoral paradise.
