I don’t often get a Friday off from work, let alone a Friday with temps in the 80s with low humidity.  It was a perfect summer day and I thought I’d go to the perfect spot to spend part of that day, Minnewaska State Park.  Minnewaska was one of the reasons I moved to New Paltz.  A couple pristine mountain top lakes and miles of carriage trail make for great bike riding and immense beauty.  Here are some shots from the ride…
