Minnewaska from the top
Met up with
Steve and Samantha (and Stella, their dog) for a ride around
Minnewaska State Park. This park offers some dramatic views from some very steep cliffs. The trails are wide open carriage trails and no single track for bicyles to ride on (at least for now). What it misses in technical it makes up with some great views on just about every turn, climb or decent… Its not a challenging park to ride, but its one of those places you just need to see and do every once in awhile to mix things up and keep it interesting. We did roughly a 11 mile loop in about 1 hour. No granny gear, and probably could push the big ring for most of it.

Where is the snow? Fall is the time to go … just make sure you keep an eye on the edge of those cliffs while enjoying the scenery, and all the leave peepers on the trail.
