I decided I needed to update my bike picture on bikejournal.com, so I took some pics of the bike when I was at a spot that could have been the top of Nelson Hill in Derby.
What I did not take a picture of was the dogs that chased me away from what was probably a private road. My iPhone showed that there was a road, but it got smaller and smaller until it was just a path, and eventually unpassable. When I turned around, I passed a house (camp?) just out of sight and the dogs heard me switch gears. I rode very fast up a wet, slippery trail through the woods until back on the Nelson Hill Road. I never looked back at the dogs, but they sounded scary and chased for quite a while. Really, it was pretty dumb - I should have known better. | ||||||
| Not Quite the top of Nelson Hill |
Overall, this 21-mile trek that started in Derby Line, went over Nelson Hill, around Derby Pond, between the two Salems, a break at the Wood's Camp, and then home, was very enjoyable. Rides around 20 miles are very doable now. Where to go next?
