Salmon Creek Ridge Ride notes 1-27-08

 

Dan Barbasch and I departed the Cayuga Heights Road Bridge over Route 13
about 2:30pm.  We proceeded north on CHRd to Route 34, passed The Rink
and took the left onto Drake Road. Then left on 34B and right onto
Brickyard Road to Ludlowville.  We proceeded north on Salmon Creek Road
past Lockerby Hill, Brooks Hill, and French Hill.   Just before crossing
to the west side of Salmon Creek, we passed a natural gas well-bore site
going 24/7.  No signage out at the road...those gas companies are so
damn secretive. We ourselves then bore left onto Hill Road at Fork in
the Creek Village rather then proceed due north on Indian Field Road. At
the top of the ridge-heart rates in the 170s-we proceeded into the
Village of Five Corners, finding ourselves to be 15 miles out at that
very 5-way intersection.  

 

In case Ben Bernanke doesn't know it, Five Corners definitely should be
A-listed for that upcoming Economic Stimulus Package.  This is one of
those parts of Cayuga County where there was more traffic on some of the
roads in 1850 than there is today.  The reason I can say this is the
mile or so of road that once connected Ridge Road to Creek Road doesn't
seem to be there any more. In any case, the Village of Five Corners was
celebrating "Let's Pretend We've been Hit by a Neutron Bomb Weekend."
Homo sapiens was not in view; not a voice, not even a heartbeat in
evidence.  I did see one ski-mobile track in a snowy field at the edge
of the village, a single, one-way pass (to nowhere?) at that. No
hurley-burley Dickensian street scenes to be found in Five Corners!  No
vendors, no shops, no pedestrians. No Jokers, no court troubadours.
Totally encloistered for the moment. Bruygel would not have wintered
here!  We do wear those colorful jerseys to be seen, right?  

 

For folks who like a speedy, gently-rolling short time-trial-like course
with a view, the five miles from Five Corners south to Route 34B
definitely fits the bill. In view of the winter temps and our advancing
middle age, Dan and I did not turn on the after-burners but simply
cruised the five miles in the 16 to 25 mph range.  

 

At Route 34B, we chose the "winter option" and rode 34B all the way east
to Rogues Harbor Inn (Alas, we skipped the Cappachino stop at
Gimme!-Lansing due to shortness of time)  where we went right and then
at the dead restaurant took the Atwater Road jog over to Asbury and then
took Triphammer to the Y.  The Summer Option (assuming one was not late
for yoga) would be to  take the first left off of 34B and descend into
Ludlowville on Ludlowville Road and then retrace the out-going route
back up Brickyard Road to 34B and using Drake Road to connect to Asbury.
I can see Andrejs nodding with more approval except for the busy
Triphammer leg.
