| From the Middleburgh High School on Rt. 145/Main St. turn
left, south on Rt. 30 and begin your ride up the Schoharie Valley. Rt. 30 wanders 10
miles up the Valley from Middleburgh to North Blenheim, but you'll turn left at
Breakabeen, about 8 miles from your start. The ride to Breakabeen is mostly flat by
Schoharie County standards. In Breakabeen turn left on to Clauverwie. Shortly past
the general store a climb begins (see Climbs page).
The climb is noticable, gaining a few hundred feet in elevation, but there are no
onerous ramps. A few rollers follow after the top of the climb, and finally a
well-deserved descent takes you back to Middleburgh and your start. The ride is
beautiful and mostly gentle. |
