What a miserable activity

Yesterday, picking the SuperDuty up from Ruth’s after I got the cap put on it, I rode down from Central Avenue along New Karner Road on my mountain bike. It was fine, though honestly it kind of sucked. So much traffic! I can’t imagine a life where you had to drive everyday, fighting that traffic, burning expensive fuel.

I’m not saying some day I won’t move back out to country, but probably not until retirement. But I really despise driving, especially the longer and longer I ride to work and around town, living in the suburbs. Maybe it’s different when you have one of those little Hondas that don’t use a lot of fuel and are easy to drive, but I don’t know, I just find so little enjoyment in driving.

Bumpy Old NY 421

NY 421 was paved in 1962. A lightly traveled road compared to many state highways, as a dead end to the Bog River Flow and Horseshoe, the road is lightly maintained, with a patchwork of asphalt patches and a generally erroded and unlevel surface.
