Welcome - not sure how far down the valley you are located, but the Mohawk-Hudson Cycling Club has rides most days of the week. Some of them leave from southern Albany county and Rensselaer/Columbia counties.
Here's the ride calendar: https://www.mohawkhudsoncyclingclub.org/calendar/rides
The 'sport' rides are more casual and the ride descriptions are pretty accurate. The Sunday morning ride out of Voorheesville is a mellow round-trip to Altamont with a stop at the bagel shop in Altamont.
Good Luck!
