I’m starting a new job on Monday, so this is my last week of freedom. For the past 3.5 years, I’ve had my hands full with daddy business, which kept me from heading up to Minnewaska/Mohonk -- and that just ain’t right. Today was the day to make amends, so Stephen and I drove up late this morning and rode all afternoon. If you’ve been there, you know that these are mainly double-track gravel “carriage roads,” so if you’re looking for a technical challenge, this isn’t the place, but the Gunks deliver the scenics in spades.
Halfway through, we went swimming in Lake Awosting. Even though it’s late September, I’d guess that the water was still a comfortable 70 degrees.
