Mohawk Hudson Cycling Club

by Laura Clark

The Mohawk Hudson Cycling Club (MHCC) is the largest recreational club in upstate New York, serving approximately 700 members who enjoy recreational road and mountain biking. During the season, scarcely a day goes by without several free, open-to-all day rides within a sixty-mile radius of the Capital District and Saratoga Springs area. Members lead more than 300 road and off-road rides per year, accommodating beginner through experienced abilities. In September, the club hosts an annual Century Weekend as well as a Mountain Bike Festival. Dues are $18 per year, including the BikeAbout newsletter. Be sure to check out their Web site, www.webmhcc.org, which includes a wealth of information on bike maintenance, cycling safety tips, membership, cue sheets for popular club rides, and the club ride calendar. A discussion forum is available to MHCC members through www.AdkSportsFitness.com.
