His Name is Marshall Church

Gravel road perfection. The groads of Rensselaer County NY are phenomenal. Mostly low traffic class 1 gravel through rural areas dotted with farms. The terrain isn't too steep but you will get some short 20% climbs. It's punchy to say the least.

Rensselaer County Groad Perfection

Once again, I have defeated my dread nemesis, Potato Hill, earning me a ride along the delightful Moose River. Halfway to #Minnowbrook2026 , I am treating myself to brief respite in the town of Old Forge, gateway to the #Adirondacks.

The journey continues tomorrow...

From the archives. Two plein air drawings. Special Flat File Sale prices. These were made in the Adirondack Mountains after the black flies. I love my times in the great Adirondacks. After missing a few seasons on the trails and beside the lake I rediscovered these drawings in my flat file archive. They remind me of my walks in the spring in light rains, sitting on the deck looking up at a blanker of stars, and hearing the hoots of our resident owl.

Interested in one or both, DM me.
