Sundays Bike Ride


We went to the Ferncliff Forest in Rhinebeck, bike in hand, riding and pushing up to the tower. One mile and 5 total...there and back. Took 17 minutes...average speed 6 miles an hour, peak was 14 miles an hour. Took 16 minutes to climb up and 1 minute to come down...Which the ride down was worth the climb up..oow weee. Flying down the rocky rough leaf covered path. Ok we are the thrill seekers. haha. We also met up with other outdoors people from our little corner of Kingston. Diane, Kathy and several other hikers.
Then we decided to continue somewhere behind Super 8, path to 209...well this was another challenging experience. rough and narrow bumpy path that was only 4 miles there and back, but felt like 10 ....Another experience once completed, will never have to do again. We are a narily group of thrill seekers. Purnima was initiated and now we can just cruise onto widely used rail trails....
The whole afternoon was only 3 hours of new and untried trails....We were young again for a while...Till now as I care for my aching body.....Still it was worth it. Diana, Purnima and I...are 3 different spices....who supported one another on the trails of life.
Yeah! Philly
