Come join us for a hike in Sandy Bottom Park and its adjacent creek, or a bike ride through the rural roads and farmland north and west of Honeoye.
We will meet at 1:45pm at the parking area of Jack Evans Drive at Sandy Bottom Park, (which is located at the northwest corner of Honeoye Lake) off County Road 36 (West Lake Road), about .4 mile from Route 20A/Main Street Honeoye.
Hikers will explore the nature trails and wetlands of Sandy Bottom Park.
Cyclists will make a 13 mile loop to the north and west north, through Honeoye to Allen’s Hill Road and then north up the Honeoye Valley, then west on Richmond Mills Road and returning on Reed Road, Ashley Road and County Road 37. This route passes through beautiful farmland as well as the lowlands of the Honeoye Creek Wildlife Management Area. We’ll pass the site of our recent Ashley Road hike. Due to the low sun at this time of year, we recommend wearing an extra visor in addition to your helmet. This is mostly an easy ride on low-traffic rural roads; there are a few climbs that are more of a challenge. The route rises to a peak about 320 feet above the start, and total gain is 619 feet. Cyclists may go at their own speed; please bring plenty of water. Bike helmets are required, and multiple layers are advised. You will get hot on the climbs and cool down on the descents.
Social: Please join us after the workouts at the Bird House Brewery, 8716 Main St, Honeoye, NY 14471. For menu see: https://commerce.arryved.com/location/BeNKYUPu/modality/pickup
