Friday was really something, wasn't it? First time breaking out my winter gear since last Spring.

This is the best thing ever for Winter riding--available at fine Army Surplus stores everywhere:

Tell us more?

Did anyone participate in Critical Mass on Friday night? I was going to but the weather kept me away.

LFT back from Hyde Park, 6-ish, pretty dang empty, less than 10 other cyclists though nice to see that all had plenty of lights.  Have always been a fan of the convertible mittens.

Mariaville Lake, Mariaville, NY. I had almost forgotten what real hills were like. 600+ ft gain in elevation in the first four miles, with a couple short sections of 8% grade.

More hills today, but a nice return to start along the Hudson-Mohawk River bikeway. Here's an old Erie Canal lock just east of the current Lock 8.

Third (and final) ride of our mini-vacation. The start of my short ride today took me through Schenectady's Stockade. This sign commemorates the ride of Symon Schermerhorn, who rode to Albany in 1690 to alert settlers to the French and Indians (who burned the Stockade). Most of the "new" homes date from the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
