Finally rode on the Catskill Scenic Trail! I attempted to ride it in March of 2008, but it was cold and rainy, and cold. As it was, it was rainy, but warm and rainy, so not bad at all. Unfortunately, I didn't leave enough daylight to ride the remaining 12 miles to Grand Gorge and back. Will have to leave that for another trip.

Rode the western unimproved end of the Orange Heritage Trailway. From Monroe westward the trail is paved. I got to ride on the ballast. Blah. Nearly as bad as riding on sand, although, y'know, a combination of ballast and sand would negate each other's bad attributes.

Rode from the Hampton Inn in Newburgh down to Vails Gate Junction. Wanted to see what it was junctioning with. Couldn't see from the highway, but later on I found that it used to be a part of the Erie Lackawana line from Newburgh to Greycourt. Had to be a short ride so I could get back in time for the meeting.

Just a short ride to have gone for a ride.

Went up to Norwood and around the lake. Wanted a slightly longer ride than usual.

Went for a tandem ride with my daughter. Higher average speed than with the wife. :) Too bad she lives so far away. Will have to visit her with the tandem on top of the car.

15.84 km 51959.72 feet 9.84 mi 3829.00 seconds 63.82 minutes 1.06 hours 9.25 mi/hr

First tandem ride in like forever. Previous schedule with Cloudmade made many things impossible. With only one day off a week, and tons of work to do, my bicycling schedule was WAAAAAAY off. But it's picking up again.
