I've really wanted to get on the Old Croton Aqueduct trail and play in the dirt. The full run is too long for me to do there-and-back and I wasn't keen on taking the train back to Manhattan. After a lot of hemming and hawing I decided to head towards the South County Trail which is a parallel route a few miles to the east and paved. Wouldn't you know that I found myself on the Aqueduct trail? Whodathunkit? I ran up as far as Tarrytown, near the Tappan Zee (coughcoughMarioCoumo?) Bridge. There and back was a tad over 43 of which about 30 was dirt, and the most fun I've had riding this year.

Still in the Bronx, the fun begins.

I was so happy to be on the trail.

Welcoming committee in Yonkers. I stopped to chat, she was nonplussed.
