The Landis Arboretum in Esperance and the
Pine Hollow Arboretum in Slingerlands are
partnering for a Mohawk Hudson Cycling Club
(MHCC) sanctioned ride that will be a 75
mile loop between the two arboretums.
Details about the ride can be
found at MHCC’s website:
http://webmhcc.org/rn/modules.phpname=Ride_Calendar&file=ride_report_fancy
The event begins at 9 am
sharp at the Pine Hollow Arboretum (PHA)
office at 16 Maple Avenue in Slingerlands.
Riders will bike to the Landis Arboretum
where there will be a brief “half time”
ceremony and break before returning to the
Pine Hollow Arboretum.
This event has been created
to raise awareness of the relative proximity
of the two arboreta and the work each
non-profit organization is engaged in to
protect, study and educate the general
public about the importance of each groups’s
unique and highly diverse upstate New York
natural forest landscapes.
The ride begins at 9 am in
Slingerlands, and the pace will be in the
range of 15-17 miles per hour. Each rider
will be provided a cue sheet with detailed
directions.
The ride has been scheduled
in conjunction with the 40th
Anniversary of Landis’s Signature Plant,
Book, Bake and Artisan Sale. The Landis
Plant Sale is scheduled for both May 19th
and 20th. The sale is open from
10am to 4pm. The plant sale will feature
thousands of hardy and unusual trees,
shrubs, and perennials. In addition,
thousands of used books on gardening and
other topics will be sold. Local artists
will also be selling their unique crafts and
nature related art. Home made bake goods
will be available to munch on while you
shop. The sale is open free to the public.
Cyclists’ purchases will be transported to
Pine Hollow Arboretum for pick-up at the end
of the ride.
