Event Type Bike Tour Description Ride leader Shari Gibbs will lead a different route than in past years, this one featuring the natural resource treasures of the Rensselaer Plateau. The Rensselaer Plateau Alliance (RPA) has established two Community Forests, each several hundred acres, that will be the terminal points of a challenging loop.
