It's a pretty good climb heading up Cedar Hill, especially Beaver Dam Rd and then up through South Bethlehem and Spawn Hollow to the Hollyhock Preserve but it made for a delightful day riding and exploring the woods without using any gasoline.
I decided once again not to do any driving on Saturday and stay closer to home, as the weather looked uncertain for the weekend. I decided instead to ride down to the Henry Hudson Town Park and it by the river for a while reading some e-Books then ride over to Hollyhock Preserve outside of South Bethlehem. It was a bit of a hill but not too bad as my mountain bike has low gears, and it was a blast riding down Collenbeck Hill and the way back home. Spent a lot of time observing wildflowers at Hollyhock and doing a bit more reading. Left a little after 11 AM and got home at about 6:45 PM.

During that very cold and rainy Memorial Day Weekend I spent up at Moose River Plains. While the black flies weren't bad, things were super wet and muddy until the last day with such beautiful skies. That was quite the year back in 2013.
