This Week
Friday Jan 23 - Rydeshare to Shawnee, Make it a long weekend. Get dropped off on Friday and get picked up on Sunday’s Rydeshare.
Saturday Jan 24 - Winter Hike at Hubbarb Park, Another small-city park with a big climb and big views, but at just 3-miles, doable by anyone at a slow pace.
Sunday Jan 25 - Rydeshare to Shawnee, perfect for beginners. That family vibe is in full effect, too. So if you’re going to learn, this is a good place to start.

Next Week
Friday Jan 30 - Rydeshare to Maple Ski Ridge, Make it a long weekend. Get dropped off on Friday and get picked up on Sunday’s Rydeshare.
Saturday Jan 31 - Winter Hike at Blue Mountain, One of my favorite alternatives to hiking Cold Spring is hiking Peekskill. And this park is the reason why.
Sunday Feb 1 - Rydeshare to Maple Ski Ridge, I’ve never been, so I’m excited to check out a different mountain in New York State just 2 hours and change from the city.
☹️ Need to cancel? No problem.
Fam News 🙌
Every trip, I ask fam to share some good news about themselves that happened to them in the last week. This new section is for that.
Ike on an Intermediate Overnight Backpacking at Slide Mountain
🙌 After a surprise layoff a couple of months ago, Tina finally accepted an offer. Job hunting sucks, but if you focus, you got this 💪
🙌 Long-time fam Dragana is expecting!
🙌 After years of working towards her degree, we just learned that Ana completed her degree and is now a social worker!
🙌 Yours truly had the opportunity to be the mystery reader in my kid’s pre-K class and I crushed it!
