In Rochester for work in May, I rode the Erie Canal Trail to Brockport. It was pretty nice:
I've taken a few mountain biking trips to some local spots, too. Here's Luther Forest:
Colonie Town Park:
Pine Hill Park in Rutland:
Pittstown State Forest:
Blue Mountain in Peekskill:
And the Pack Demonstration Forest in Warrensburg, NY:
Theoretically, I should do reports on all of these places (especially the places I haven't done reports for yet), but the more I think about doing that, the less I want to. I'll save the in depth trip reports for actual adventures, not 3 hour jaunts in the woods.
Other than that, not much going on. I'm looking forward to a fun summer of riding, boating, and general merriment. Time to start research some "real" adventures.
Geez, you've hit a lot of mtn bike areas. Tops on my list to check out are Wilmington, Pittstown and Pine Hill. Was Pack Forest good riding?
ReplyDeleteMostly fire road type stuff. Easy, but a nice view of Hickory from the top of one of the hills. Cool little nature trail that was singletrack-y with a bunch of fun bridges (not positive that it was open to bikes, but there was no sign warning against it).
ReplyDeleteYou definitely have to get to Pine Hill - I'm okay with the technical stuff, but Pine Hill is my favorite kind of riding: Pure Fun.
As always love to read your blog, and also as always the pictures are exceptional!
