On my way home from work, I took a detour through the Bronx. As I've mentioned in previous posts, the borough offers some surprisingly interesting vistas--and short rides--not far from where I live.
And, as I've also mentioned in another post, one of my favorite quick getaways has become the Concrete Plant Park.
All through the fall, and with the approach of winter, the park--and the stretch of the Bronx River that winds through it--remind me more and more of a New England mill town.
Vera really seems to enjoy this sort of thing.
It could be that for a moment, she can imagine--as I do--that we are beside some old European canal or stream.
Even if we don't, there are still the colors of the sunset, which descends upon us early at this time of year.
I hope that the city and state parks departments follow through on their announced plan to extend the riverside bike/pedestrian path up the length of the Bronx into Westchester County.

Hi, what chainring guard do you have on your bike there?
ReplyDeleteAlan--It's the BBG Super Light. You can order it--and other models--from their website. They make all of their chainring guards in Portland, OR.
