the Way of the Turtle

3 TURKEYS & 7 DEER...
13.6 Mile Ride Through the Corning Preserve & Schuyler Flatts Cultural Park

... and blessedly few people, which is probably why the deer and turkeys were out and about.

Caught a short break in the rain, so I popped down to the Corning Preserve for a short ride. Light rain kicked back in as I was heading over the Schuyler Flatts, but only enough to make the 2nd half of the ride damp rather than soaked and uncomfortable.

In some ways the path through the preserve is really nice, with the Hudson River alongside and a fair amount of nature and occasional wildlife. Unfortunately, the constant drone of traffic on I787 does make it a little less pleasant, and some of the sections of pavement really need to be replaced - there's a lot of root buckling. But it does have the advantage of being relatively close and a fairly easy ride.
