... RP2IPBP

The ride continues. Since the weather turned nice on Thursday Py rode to the Camp (footnote: former Camp Upton, now a Research Work Place), at Lunchtime a ride at very windy conditions and back home. Friday, same thing, but 1st time in shorts and short sleeves -- how nice. The 1st hours of sun left a faint little reddish and tan on his not yet sun exposed arms at the very upper part or end of the sleeve. Saturday return of the RP2IPBP ride.

Saturday morning 9am Py lead out the more or less usual group of three riders total. Moving out east on Sound Ave, coming up on Boy Scout Hill, a scary looking plume of low fog was moving in low and up and over from the North Shore, very weird looking. But sunny and clear sky and warm air on the Island. Going north just shortly before reaching they were diving into this weird cold low fog, it's desity got from just chilly and sun blocking to condensing cold and wet and with sub 100m visibility to the North at the bottom of "The Tanks". Little thick clouds sitting on the ground and lakes around, amazing weather phenomen... Arriving at IPBP, no sun, just a grey wall of fog and little chilly feel. They did not spend much time there.

A hiddle pond, a cyclist,



and a huge frog...

Time to return. Nice getting out of this fog and back into the sun.

The summer has definitively arrived, finally. Temps were reaching 24C by the end of the ride.
