Route: Friday Indian Head Rail Trail, Livingston Rd parking lot eastward to White Plains trailhead. After a conversational stop, westward ho! back to the start.
Weather: We started the ride at 9 AM instead of 10 because of the heat.
AMS: varied by rider; We had a new rider that rode in the low 11s.
Mechanicals/Mishaps: none
Report: It was great to be leading a Friday ride again. I have to say it was strange without Randy because he always wrote the ride reports. There were a lot of bike riders, walkers and runners on the trail enjoying the early morning wonderful temperatures. Wildlife sightings included deer, squirrels, and turtles. I rescued one turtle on the way back to the parking lot and left my water bottle. So I got in the car and drove to White Plains to find my bottle which I found and it added 10 miles to my total for the day. While I was riding I saw a real pretty bright colored box turtle and she was digging a hole to lay her eggs. That was great to experience. No eagles visible on the nest near Livingston Road.
I had pictures but I couldn't get them added to the report. Can someone help me with this?
