fun ride on mohawk-hudson bike path in Cohoes, NY
Posted On Sunday, October 10, 2010 at at 8:03 PM by MTB ManToday's ride was a little outing on the Mohawk-Hudson bike path from Cohoes to Colonie, NY and back with Mrs. MTBMan1. We brought a picnic lunch. It was great! Really classic, fall day. Warm in the sun. Cool in the shade. Unbeknownst to us there was a marathon foot race today from Schenectady to Albany on the path. The road was blocked with orange cones and we were afraid we wouldn't be allowed up to park at the path entrance but the police let us through. Apparently it was just the tail end of the race.
This section of the trail is especially beautiful in the autumn with a couple of "corridors" arched over with brilliantly colored trees. It's a favorite of ours this time of year.
We rode out about 4-1/2 miles and then back and ate our sandwiches but the yellow jackets came around and drove us out.
It was a refreshing and rejuventating time.
Here's a little video (our batteries ran out and our spares were bad too!)
Ken and I went to Cape Cod this past weekend and took our bikes; we had a wonderful time on the Cape Cod Rail Trail. I highly recommend it!
