It has been a while since I took the initiative to just get out and decompress. I think it might be a week early as I don't finish at the job until next Saturday but I needed these passed two days. Saturday I drove south with no real destination in mind. I wound up in Naples so I decided to visit Hi-Tor again. It was raining off and on so the weather wasn't really ideal but it was good to hike and spend some time messing around with the camera. It was also time to think about where I have been recently and where things are going. No real conclusions but I don't think there ever will be. Hi-Tor would be a great place to ride but...
then I see signs like this. And then I get mixed signals when I see signs like this:
My guess is that Hi-Tor itself is open to riding but some of the trails that access the area are not. Bummer because those are the ones that are definitely more interesting to ride. I'll need to find a map and figure out where the public and private lands are.
After the hike I spotted some wind turbines south of Naples and off toward Cohocton. Very cool, massive structures. I hope more are brought online.
Today I changed out my rear tire on the road bike. I've put three plus years and 2500 miles on the Continental Ultra 2000s - the threads are starting to really fray so I figure it is time. I am trying Michelin Lithion tires. I rode to Honeoye Falls and back for a total of about 35 miles. So far, I am impressed. It was a mix of wet and dry and there weren't any iffy situations. The real test will be to see how they hold up riding through the city streets.
