The weather was especially nice and it's truthfully an easy ride with a minimum of hills (yeah maybe I was a bit lazy as well :-) )
I like to pop in down by the river in the Springdale in the industrial area where I often see a deer. Sure enough...

Cove Island Park
Once the site of a large industrial mill complex, remnants of yesteryear are still present.
We used to come here a lot when we first moved to Stamford. Before I "discovered" the woods and mountain biking, the beach was often our weekend destination.
What's the big deal about this spot? This is where our son first rode his bike - it was a magical moment for sure...
That's a dam across the pond - Greg (our son) with his wild friends, in typical teenage rambunctiousness rode over it with our canoe - YIKES!
On the rode back home, I stopped to film a few proud geese "strutting their stuff"
Further Info
Stamford Manufacturing Co.
Started in 1792 as a small tidewater gristmill on the eastern edge of Cove Island, it grew to become Stamford's largest industry and the world's largest dye extracting concern.
At its peak in 1890 it employed about 500 workers, with state-of-the-art facilities on 70 acres at the Cove, thousands of feet of mechanized wharves hosting big deep-sea schooners, a shipping company with four schooners, and a number of houses on Weed Street.
