Dear Friends, I am helping to raise funds to save a beautiful piece of land called the Pleasant Valley Preserve.   It’s 200+ acres on Pleasant Valley Rd. just across from the Cedarvale Maple Syrup Co.    As you no doubt know, since bikers use this road regularly, Pleasant Valley Rd. runs from Cedarvale to Marcellus and is quite scenic.   Sometime this week _The Bikery_ will put a bike rack at the entrance so you can lock your bike while you hike the area.  To raise funds to help p ...Continue Reading
