Hey, the weather predictions were correct – there is snow on the ground and the temperature at 9:00 is only 29° with a predicted high of 33, so we are cancelling the bike ride. BUT, we are hiking, so put on your orange vest and your hiking boots and come enjoy East Springwater by foot!
This Sunday we are offering something different – a bike or hike. (Well, maybe not so special since we are only hiking.) Come enjoy East Springwater either at a walking or a riding pace, according to your preferences.
This hike/bike is a part of the Bicentennial Celebration of Springwater.
Before we start, three cautions:
- This hike will start at our regular winter time of 2:00PM
- If you are hiking please wear orange or another bright color. This will be the second day of regular deer hunting season.
- If the temperature is below 40° then we do not plan to ride. .If you are unsure, please check the website Sunday at noon.
All hikers and bikers will meet at the barn at Punky Hollow near the corner of Pardee Hollow Rd and Tabors Corners Rd in Springwater. As always, please park carefully, as this is private property. Following the hike/bike, please join us for a social at John Larysz’s house. Bring a dish to pass and your beverage, or make a contribution ($5) to the social fund. Thanks John and Sue for volunteering your home.
Hiking above East Springwater
Hikers will hike on Punky Hollow trails. Based on the number of hikers, we will have one or two groups, both of which will follow trails through the woods to the top of the hill to look down on the Cohocton Creek and on Dutch Hollow. As time permits, we will explore the hill top and then return to the cars over a different trail.
Biking Dutch Hollow and Tabors Corners This hike is canceled due to the weather!
Dust those cobwebs off your bike and pump up those tires. Prepare to enjoy the hills of Tabors Corners on two wheels. Yes there will be a few elevation challenges on this ride. We will travel at a leisurely pace, but be prepared for some lovely scenery and a good workout.
