Join Us for the Zim Smith Trail

Saturday,  September 16, 2023

The Zim Smith trail has got to be one of the most accessible and pleasant bike trails in the Capital area!   We will ride out and back from Mechanicville over to the Shenantaha Park, just about 20 miles round trip.  As always,  all levels of riders are welcome!

Since it is within easy driving distance in the area, we plan to meet at 9 AM, to allow us to have a nice relaxing lunch at The Ugly Rooster, located close to where we will park at the Zim Smith East Trailhead in Mechanicville.  Of course, the Rooster is also open for breakfast at 7 AM if you want a bite before the ride! (I confirmed The Ugly Rooster will be open as usual  from 7 AM to 2 PM on 9/16).

Here is a map of where the Zim Smith East Trailhead is located, 1044 Elizabeth St Exd, Mechanicville, NY 12118.  Note the close proximity to The Ugly Rooster,   312 N 3RD Avenue.

Here is a map showing our turnaround location at Shenantaha Park, a beautiful location with bathrooms and water fountain.

By starting at 9 AM, we should be finished with our ride by 11:30-ish to meet up for lunch.  When you register for the ride,  please let us know if you also want to have lunch at the Rooster, so we can give them a heads up on the number in our group.

If you have questions, please contact Brenda Streed at swcchatter@gmail.com. Hope to see you there!
