Friday ALL Class IHRT ~20 miles

Fri, March 22, 2024 10:00 AM | Ron Altemus (Administrator)

Leader:   Ron Altemus

Members:   Gene Villiva and Leesha Saunders



Route:   Indian Head Rail Trail, round trip from Livingston Rd parking lot eastbound to White Plains trailhead.

Weather:   chilly with temps only in the mid 40s; a bit of sun at the start giving way to cloudy conditions; 8+ mph air out of the eastern quadrant

AMS:   varied by rider but mostly in the 11s

Mechanicals/Mishaps:   a brief period of balky shifting outbound that seemed to cure itself on the return

Report:   a small contingent, not surprising given the weather conditions.  We basically rode as a moderately spaced out trio with the usual amount of lively conversation.  Other trail users included walkers and cyclists though not in large numbers.

Wildlife sightings included an eagle on the nest just east of the Livingston Road parking lot, a bluebird, a Great Blue Heron, and lots of unidentifiable brown something birds.  We also saw a cow closer to Livingston Road than the Bumpy Oak farm where is should normally be grazing.
