On the way back from visiting my mother, I stopped by Taconic 909 late afternoon Sunday. The weather was perfect - sunny but not too hot with a refreshing breeze.
I parked at the Tyrrell lot and rode in on
Brockway veering off at
Mary Murphy. The great single track took me above the start of BykHead, so I rode on the double track
(Horseshoe) and zoomed off down the connector to connect with
BkyHead. That first climb is a doozy and although I didn't hike any of it, I did have to stop twice for a breather. Once at the top it was non-stop nirvana - some sections have so much great flow you fly at breakneck speed without a care in the world!
Once I reached the bottom, I rode a bit on the jeep road and veered off the the left on the connector to
Mustang and then
climbed
Mercury (on previous visits I always rode in the opposite direction: descending).
It was a great ride and finally a bit of redemption for me as last time I visited, my bike broke on BykHead and I had to walk it out. Eeech - that was a bummer...
