Where did you go? we went to mountain lakes park, in north salem, NY
What did you see along the way? lots of trees, bodies of water: rivers and lakes and ponds, tunnels, shops, railroad tracks
Would you recommend the area? yes it was mostly on protected paths and the campsite was nice too.
What sort of accommodation did you use? it was a campground with port a potties and some shelters.
What kind of bicycle did you ride? i rode my commuter which is a light touring bike, the surly crosscheck
Did you learn anything new? nope i had done it before the previous October with the same group
What short tours do you have planned for 2017?
We'll be doing an introduction to touring by going to Staten Island and camping.
