NCT is closed for 1/4 mile at the historic washout (formerly narrow fenced spot) north of the parking lot north of Kitchawan. Go up the road, take a right uphill opposite Nadine's and meet the trail where that side street crosses it.
Beautiful day for a ride! Firestation in Yorktown Heights said 68F (though their clock is wrong). Enjoying lunch before tackling the climb to Baldwin Place.
Alas Westchesters's paving project doesn't seem to have made it past Yorktown Heights so the last miles were their usual bumpy wet selves. The also skipped some spots further south that are developing cracks that are are going to need attention soon.
Was fun to ride through with leaves off the trees though - could actually see Lake Mahopac from the hill and see streams hidden far deeper in the woods than usual.
Feels like cheating to have started in Tarrytown on the excuse of it being "winter" - we get another day like this and I'm going to have to set out early enough to do the whole trail.
