A walk in the park

Feb 7

Dryer Road Park in Victor, NY

Missing my bike this time of year.

The trail conditions this winter are not the best for riding, they fluctuate so much during the freeze / thaw cycles. Most of the trails were still frozen, which are perfect for traffic. There were sections of the trails that were thawing and had a slurry of mud on top of frozen ground. Hiking or riding muddy trails causes damage and more work for trail crews in the spring. Our job was to avoid those areas, and we ended up turning around and back tracking multiple times. Mr. Fenton and I did get a lot done cleaning up logs and debris from the trails we were able to hike.

Riding season cannot get here fast enough.
