Second Day in a Row with Sherri

Sherri and I rode again today. We hit a trail that was converted from an old railroad line. Its really beautiful along the way with farms and country houses lining the trail. I could smell wood burning in the fireplaces which reminded me of Mike's post the other day. The trail is hard packed dirt. Very flat and very smooth. A good place to spin consistently. Total length is about 3 miles. We went from one end to the other and back for about 6 miles.

It was cold this morning. Probably about 48 degrees at the start. As you can see I went with the wool jersey and a balaclava.

Here is one end where we turned around. The view is of Wolfe Park. Man made beach, lake, fields, concessions etc.

Mountain Biking with Sherri

Sherri and I rode on the fire road today. It is a slight incline the entire way in and it was a bit challenging for her. She was a trooper and hung in there til the first clearing near the top. With some consistency I bet this will begin to feel easy for her.

It was a cooler day even in sun as you can see by Sherri's fleece.


I opted for the double jersey thing as I rode Jason's old Cannondale hardtail. Sherri rode my full suspension Specialized.

We saw this hiker along the way. Later we saw her tucked in the woods sitting down on the ground reading.

Back at the lot goofing around without a helmet.

Hey Mike...I like your pics from today's morning ride. I see all your descriptions are typed in the label area. Did you know you can also type in the box where the pictures go and add a lot more verbiage? Like I am doing here.

Sunrise on the road bike

I set out today at 6:10AM for a ride on the North County Trail in Westchester. This picture is taken on the old train tressel bridge that crosses the Croton Reservoir. It was a cold 46 degrees and I only got in about 45 minutes. Had to be at work by 7:45.

Here is another pic with slightly different angle. You can see my new Cateye headlight.
