Did you know there are wolves in Westchester? They are safely housed at the Wolf Conservation Center. We didn’t visit any of the Ambassador Wolves during this bike ride, but we named the route in their honor! The first part of this route was similar to our route from April, but the second half contained a lot of new roads. We had a large group (four pace groups, actually) who came ready to explore some new dirt and revisit some old favorites!
Overall, it was a beautiful route on a spectacular day. I don’t think we could have ordered more perfect riding weather. The leaves were starting to turn color, which added to the charm. The Mountain Lakes climb was as bumpy and enjoyable as we remembered – either the highlight or lowlight of the ride depending on who you ask today!
Thanks everyone, from all of the pace groups, for joining us today! It was a fun day out. Many of us stayed after the ride to celebrate over food and cold drinks.
