With some warm weather this week, πŸ–οΈ and Memorial Day Weekend just around the corner, it seems like summer is just kicking off. Hard to think that next weekend will be June and weekends at the Potholers in nine-degree heat aren't that far off nor is summer vacation.

Fun times ☺

This weekends weather turned out much nicer than I had expected though it’s a big cloudier and muggier this morning then I had hoped. Still last night wasn’t bad at all in the hammock with the bug net camping on Cole Hill.

How to maximize fun without burning up a lot of gas. β›½ That’s the name of the game this weekend. Took the Nature Bus up to Thacher Park and rode trail, read, and relaxed in the hammock until quarter after five when I rode back home. 🚲 As usual the New Salem Hill was a blast, and by taking NY 85A to Voorheesville and the rail trail πŸš‚I was able to miss the hills coming out of New Salem.

After I got home, grabbed my stuff and did a quick overnight on Cole Hill β›Ί up in the hammock, hauling my gear in on the bicycle 🚲 and cooking both breakfast and super on the fire. πŸ”₯ Today I plan on riding trail at Partridge Run, maybe do a bit more reading πŸ“– and then heading out to the folks house for Sunday dinner. 🍽 Then it’s back to work this week. 😰 Summer heat returns midweek but I’ll be in the office in the suburbs all week and by the time I get home the heat breaks. Then cool and rainy β˜” for the weekend, might not be good for the Gas Up. 🚜
