From the house, run north to Hillside, down to the Maxon/Aquaduct . . . left to cross RR tracks to Freeman Bridge. Thence over the ice free Mohawk to Sunnyside. Left at the light into Scotia Glenville to Washington, across highway 50 to join up with Vly. Vly to the overpass to 147 headed north.
Ridge proved to be too tempting; up the hill. Slow. Smaller chain rings in front; bigger ones in the back. Story of my hill climbing life, here, battling winds from the west with surprising chill and speed.
So I call it quits at 45 minutes and start back toward home by taking the Snake Hill Rd. route back by way of Spring, all that back to Route 50 by the auto dealer, Mohawk Honda, I think.

This ride is close by not quite it, really.
Freeman Bridge Road from the dealership to the bridge itself. Really beginning to get comfortable with 40 kph, once again, while going downhill, down wind, ha. Erie Blvd to Seneca, up hill on Seneca, past the RR tracks, Schenectady Count Public Works building, into the residential neighborhoods, and on to Nott, then Grand to home.
Cold. Yikes. I had forgotten what a 10 to 15 mph wind will do at 42 F. 1 h 10 or so 28 kph average, pathetic. Odo: nearly 7,000 km.
Ready for more!
