Late Day Bicycle Rides Triggers Memories Of Biking After Summer Job Work

 

                                 


Bicycling late in the day when the sun is approaching the horizon and the shadows are extending in their daily march reminds me of my days when I worked long hours at the Liz Claiborne production plant in the swamps of New Jersey and I used to come home around 7 PM to ride my bike until sunset.

Those were the days when I worked summers to make money to pay for college at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, NY. 

Typically, I bike early in the mornings.

But yesterday, I biked the Red Rock Loop closer to 6 PM and those long shadows and cooler temps triggered memories of those late summer day bike rides in Rockland County after work.





This morning, it was back to hiking, a terrific 2-hour, 45-minute 10-miler in the Blue Diamond where I saw these critters.



Buy this book -- thank you.
