EBs North again -- light drizzle and low flying

Today Py got up early to ride once more to the Early Birds starting from today at 7:30am in Manorville again. Very little wind, fully overcast and mist in the air, but roads still dry out North -- the weather forecast is calling for increasing chance of rain -- well, hope the best that it holds off for the next hours to come.

Even with that conditions, quite a good number of the Bird's showed up, it must be really bad no one comes.

Starting out at good steady pace, the stronges EECT rider(s) seamed to have some long contineous and strong pull in mind and two kept going. The big groups got to stop at flat #1...

And got moving again at good pace with little tail wind, averaging 36.1 kmn/h all the way out east. Here at the quick reassemble stop after "teh tanks" run.

And stopping at the Cutchogue Deli for Coffee.

Also the return ride was about teh same steady fast pace with 36.0 km/h average, well executed stops and turns on wet surface. A really exemplary pace lined ride in all aspects. The groups stayed togther quite most of the time until the very last strait and final run back. One more flat stop.

The rain/drizzel intensity increased to the end and Py took the opportunity for a lift back home -- Thanks to Kevin.

Stats later -- MB not working right -- OK, here they are:

However, 36.0k m/h average over the 88km -- 108km for Py total.

Time and Distance cumulated at various speed zones
