Biking to the Troy Farmer’s Market has been one of those things I’ve been meaning to do all summer. Saturday we had really nice weather and I had nothing else to do, so impulsively I packed up my things and went. The trip was more about the journey than the destination.
I live near St. Peter’s Hospital in Albany, so I had to bike down to the Mohawk Hudson bike path. I took that up to Watervliet, and took Broadway to 23rd. There’s a nice sign on the bridge into Troy that says “Share the Road.” The bridge is a little scary. I was glad there was not more traffic. The drainage grates will eat your tires if you are not careful.
The trip was 11 miles each way. I had a tailwind getting there so it took me less than an hour. I bought some apples and lunch. I talked to the guys at the Troy Bike Rescue for a few minutes. Pictures are available here.
