Ramblings from Moe Mountain.
I thought I’d start this up to have a place to express some rides and photos of interesting places and things without cluttering up other threads on the forum. It’s called Ramblings from Moe Mountain, because that’s where I live. This area is within two miles of Wawayanda Park.
My wife's friend called to take her out to lunch today, so I figured I'd go off exploring and out to lunch.
I headed down Clinton road to P1 parking at Van Orden street. I'v been in this section before, but a while ago and from a different parking area. There used to be a big old castle in here years ago. As I rode along the trail was an easy pleasant ride. There are some side trails too that I'll leave for further explorations. It was a great day for a ride and I always like heading out to new areas. The lake on the right is huge and pretty with no houses or buildings on it. The trail is medium to poorly maintained which is just fine by me. The further I go the rougher it gets. More hidden rocks in the high grass and branches down. Now I'm working to ride, fun! Dodging and planing my next move. Working up a sweat. I came to a small odd rock building right along the trail only 15 feet from the lakes edge. This trail does follow the lakes edge closely. More trees down blocking the trail, so I climb over. Still farther on I came to a massive blow down area and decided to head back for lunch. This trip was a measly 1.6 miles in, but it was great. Not a soul around. The ride back was just as challenging for me and great fun. I knew the easier stuff was coming. This is so remote it's like their ain't nothin' around, really cool.
I got back to my parking place and blew by it heading down Clinton road another 1.6 miles to Grasshopper restaurant. I've never been here and I wanted to try their Guinness beer, never had it.
Ordered Nachos supreme and a sample of Guinness. No on the Guinness, ordered a Fat Tire pint. Ate and drank my fill and headed out to do the ride of pain 1.6 miles back up hill to my parking spot. I really struggled getting back and I was thinking I gotta get some lower gears on this bike! Damn, just as I reached my car I realized I was riding on the big sprocket up front. F#*@, that's what beer will do for ya.
