making reservations for train to Berkshires weekend

How do I make reservations for the train to the Berkshires for Memorial Day weekend?

Hello - I am doing the B16 SIG series (Puma team) and am using my vintage Colnago Super from 1978, one of my original racing bikes.  Needless to say, it is VERY heavy (26 lbs. as currently outfitted) compared to modern pro bikes, AND is limited to a 42x28 gear as its smallest.  (Only a new rear derailleur, new freewheel, and new crankset & chainrings would permit lower gearing in a 1:1 ratio).  I am handicapped on very hilly rides and can't imagine making it up Bear Mountain May 4 (the final ride in the SIG) on this bike.  The preceding two rides in the SIG series will be beyond brutal, as well.

Late change in the weather. We'll try again tomorrow.

Thanks so much.  I'm leading a C-ride from nyc to Great Barrington via the train so would appreciate if anyone has any space.

Thanks!
