Turning on coarse sand at some speed

Saturday the 11th PyZahl joined Jack's 103 miler from Sunshine Mall out to the East Hampton Wind Mill. Starting with some bagels at the start more and more riders showed up and finally with a late start at 7:20 instead of 7am the group rolled out south.
On the way a few more riders joined, a head group took off heading for a Dune Road -- one business stop on Dune Rd -- regrouping and again some splitting along Dune Rd and over the bridge... -- here some riders split off to short cut, since then the 103mi group stayed together.
1st misshapen (stuck in some crack in the road), two riders going down, they are fine, just one bike had a broken spoke and the other needed some wheel truing.




... and finally we got to East Hampton, Windmill for lunch.


... return more north and backtracking over the bridge (the route) and proceeding north on the EBs S route, further to Riverhead ...

PyZahl had a little slide out on some gravel from last days rain on a tight turn, not so nice feeling if there are many little sphere like objects suddenly and unexpected under both wheels in a turn... some emergency slide and tip over ended up in a scratched up rear quick release and a little hole in his skin at the elbow :-(

So what, the ride was finished little late due to the sum of delays, but still, it was a great day.

A BBQ at PyZahl's place with friends finished the day.

PyZahl used Sunday for chill'n home :-)
