Trip Report

Fog was our co-pilot as we started out a couple of notches above freezing. Not long after the turn onto McKenzie View Dr. the sun spread its warmth onto three grateful riders. We refueled at the Mohawk Store, then onto Wendling Bridge for a photo op. On the return at McKenzie View Dr. and Hill Rd. we spotted an Elk herd, being a first for the three of us. After a few more miles the ride ended in much appreciation for where we live.
