Today’s Thacher Park Ride
About Today's Thacher Park Ride ....
Rode 40 miles on Blackie on Saturday, after taking the Nature Bus to the Thacher Park Overlook, visiting Warner's Lake, Thompson's Lake, High Point and Hang Gliders Cliff, then riding down to ice cream parlor on NY 85, Five Rivers, Meads Road and then home. It was a fun day, especially flying down New Salem Hill at 35 MPH on a Mountain Bike which is mad fast..
