Goal Work: “You gotta love livin', baby, 'cause dyin' is a pain in the ass.” - Frank Sinatra
I did my first training run for the 42 mile NYC bike tour. Allen and I rode 4.6 miles on the Hudson Valley Rail trail. Beautiful cool day; I was decked out in a hat and gloves. Bicycling over the Hudson river I was fortunate enough to admire the amazing ice flows starting to melt on this majestic river, enjoy the cacophony of the many other bikers, walkers, and joggers, and finally marvel at the beauty of the snow along the trail banks. I am so glad the town chose to plow this rail trail. I wish I had known there was a plowed rail trail earlier. It was an easy ride and I think the cool weather made it even more enjoyable. I was not sore (except for my burning butt) or out of breath even though I think I biked at a fair pace. I am ready to attempt 8-10 miles next week. Maybe next week I will do this trail twice, or go to central park, or maybe the Harlam Vally Rail Trail in Ancram to Copake Falls.

NO NO - please don't do Central Park next weekend. We will be at Cornell...
ReplyDeleteCentral Park will wait. I was going to ask you where you wanted to go next week but I see you are booked.
ReplyDeleteYea- not sure how I am going to get a bike ride in next weekend. Ed and I also did the Highland rail trail about we weren't sure what the mileage was. I HATE my old bike and find it incredibly hard to ride - it works against me :-( I am going to call the bike store this week and if necessary, pay extra $$ to have it shipped sooner.
