Friday Indian Head Rail Trail 20 mi

Fri, June 20, 2025 9:00 AM | Jackie Schoch

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?
