9/18/11, Patterson/Whaley Lake/Old 55, 14.6 mi, 2.5LFC *

Beautiful early fall afternoon, a little on the cool side but that didn't matter once the hills started. Shortish ride in distance but a lot of climbing. Summitted Mt. Tom.

9/11/11, Quaker Ridge/Hurd's Corners, 24.5mi, 2.5LFC

First ride since Monday. Felt pretty strong. Cool cloudy weather which kept me from overheating on the climbs. A new variation to add a few miles on by going up Hurd's Corners Rd. then back down 22 instead of going on Dewey Rd. off N. Quaker Hill. I would've preferred going down Kitchen Rd. to West Dover Rd. but the bridge is still out and I didn't feel like investigating how far down that really was and whether it was totally impassible for bike. Maybe next time.

9/5/11, Wingdale-Pleasant Ridge-Green Haven, 35.0 mi, 3 LFC 1SFC

Got rained on while climbing up the 'back side' (steep side) of Pleasant Ridge Rd. (coming from Wingdale). Then went by the north wall of Green Haven Prison up into the hills and dales to near I-84 (passing by Stormville Mountain Rd.), stopping by the deli at 55 & 216 for a post-rain split corn muffin (w/Dr. P.).
