Henrietta Loop

Marilyn is spending the day in Buffalo with friends so I decide to take ride connecting two trails I had partially followed with partner riders.  I went along the Canalway Trail toward the river and then picked up the North Branch of the ehigh Valley Trail.  That trail winds through Henrietta often on streets because the original rail right-of-way is not always available.  The surfaces range from street, crushed stone, and heavy gravel.

This is picture of a pond along the Lehigh Valley Trail just after I got on it.  I think this site deserves a true photographic visit rather than quick snaps with a phone camera.

I continued on through the abandoned golf course and on to the crushed stone portion of the North Branch.  At East Henrietta Road I decided to dead north back home.  The resulting loop was just a few click shy of 20 miles.  If I had kept going to Pinnacle Road and then headed north, I estimate that I would have added another four to six miles which would clearly be in my current capacity.  Maybe next time.
