A Different River Loop, and a Little More...

Some friends from the Taconic Hiking Club were doing a rather lengthy ride today, and it actually motivated me to get back on the bike. We started at The Crossings, in Colonie, biked to the Niskayuna train station at Lions Park on the bike path and met some others, and then did a river loop, crossing first the Rexford Bridge and then the Crescent Bridge. We stopped for lunch at Stewart's on US9 near the Crescent Bridge, and continued back to Lions Park via the bike path. There, we left the group we'd met earlier and headed back to The Crossings, for a 43+ mile ride. It was relaxed and sociable, and a beautiful ride on a perfect, though cool, fall day.
