Bike Your Park Day
The feature photo is of the Scott Covered Bridge, one of same bridges you’ve seen before. If you look real close, my bike is located at the exact center at the far end of the bridge.
This weekend is Adventure Cycling’s Bike Travel Weekend and Bike Your Park Day. So, I decided it would be a good time to redo a ride that I did a few weeks ago, riding up to Townshend State Park. We’re starting to get some early fall color here in Vermont, so hopefully these photos will show something a little different than last time. Lots of yellows right now, but the oranges and reds should be popping out in the next few days.
And having nothing to do with cycling, but definitely a sign of fall, the turkeys are out and about. This is my backyard this morning.

Lovely picture of the Townshend Common!
Thanks Suzanne!
Great turkeys! And great bridge shot. Did you take my advice and lock it up, or were you just feeling lucky?
I decided to just take my chances, since I was basically out in the middle of nowhere. Of course, around here, there’s lots of people that don’t bother to lock their doors at night, or take their keys out of the car.
Once I had a hawk swoop down on a small rabbit in my back yard, but I’ve never had a flock of turkeys. I biked to work almost every day for at least 20 years and I never heard of Bike to Work Day until after I retired. I was on a bike tour when I first learned about it. I rode into the rain and didn’t see a single person riding their bike to work.
We tend to have lots of hawks riding the thermals around our house. We worry about our cat occasionally, but he’s pretty heavy. Not sure a hawk could really lift him.
Nice foliage, Bob. Keep it coming, else my ace support crew will insist on heading to VT for leaf peeping.
Thanks! I’m planning on a few foliage rides over the next few weeks. And come on east! VT’s the place to be in the fall. Oh wait, there’s that whole 14 day quarantine rule…
Hmmm Turkeys, solar panels, electric oven . . . . do I sense a coming event here? 😉
Absolutely beautiful place to ride — thanks for the photos!
Some of them were pretty plump, now that you mention it.
You sure they aren’t velociraptors escaped from the local Jurassic Park.
If that’s the case, I hope they don’t get to full size. I’ve seen the movie, and it wouldn’t work out well.
Looks like a great place to ride!
Thanks Laura. I feel pretty lucky to live where I live.
