I’m pretty sure at 6:15 that place was a horrid downpour hell. I’m definitely down soon though, if we could do it on a weekend morning that would be ideal for me. ---

Central park schenectady come down 7 turn onto. Golf road on the opposite side of 7 as the golf course. Take a right at the T and park in the little pullof about 300 feet up on the right. ---

I dont know of any riding in Clifton Park to be honest ha ha, theres the colonie town park by Guptils but thats a bit south of Clifton Park, and the STEP trails in Malta but thats north lol. I just uploaded the GPS track of my ride from yesterday, theres some error in the elevation profile if you compare it to the topographic map, but its accurate enough to give a decent idea of the dumb amount of climbing that was rewarded with insane downhills. ![http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b28/skierdood/Picture6-5.png](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b28/skierdood/Picture6-5.png) ![http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b28/skierdood/Picture8-3.png](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b28/skierdood/Picture8-3.png) ![http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b28/skierdood/Picture7-4.png](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b28/skierdood/Picture7-4.png) ![http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b28/skierdood/Picture9-2.png](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b28/skierdood/Picture9-2.png) ---

Possibly he’s referring to the Luther’s Forest Trails with access from the tech park? I used to ride there all the time. I’ve only gone once this year because I took up road riding. Took a nasty fall at Grafton last year and got skird I guess. I have a Specialized Rockhopper that I break out sometime. I’m not a fan of Schen CP though because my buddy got his back window smashed the one time I rode there. ---

Yeah luther forest. Exit 12 and go east through the circles take a right past the fork on Hermes road, but I think they just recently changed the name of it so I’m not sure what its called now. You pass NYSERTA and then there’s a pulloff at the trailhead on the right. ![http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b28/skierdood/file.jpg](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b28/skierdood/file.jpg) I was at the group ride in central park where everyones cars got their windows broken. But luckily mine didn’t get touched. Also since then I haven’t had any issues. Also you can park at the baseball fields on golf road and its usually safer since there’s usually families or teams using the field so there’s more eyes around to look for suspicious activity. ---

I’ll be riding Central Park tonight around 615 if anyone wants to join. If the rain showers do materialize later I’ll still ride as long as its not a downpour or lightning. ---
