3rd edition of the 135-2k New Paltz ride

»Any one up for a short notice 85mi ride from New Platz this Sunday? I promise you to ride some never seen awesome secret roads... TDB -- carpool -- post ride dinner right at the finish.«

Was the question the day before -- weather looking stellar!

... and there we go, meeting Mark 5:30 at Bicycle Planet to carpool ...
Rolling out of the lot a few minuted before 9am.



Post ride dinner...

And a little slow drive back home.

RP2IPBP-JP -- flying fun

A few no so often seen (on this one) rider joining up on this beautiful day for good ride.

 

Rocky Point 2 Tour of the Hamptons 100 and return

Thunder and heavy rain around 4am while preparing breakfast and evaluating the situation out there via all those great tool we got today -- local minute level forecasts and rain radar and rain watch tools. Big blobs of heavy rain moving over from South, just crossing the edge of Py's home town. Looking much better out East. A little later around 5am it looked stable and a gap in the heavy zones opened up. Time to get out of it and head East! Rolling out with lights 5:20am.

Warm, soaking wet, puddles, dripping from trees but not rain any more!

After about an hour and 1/2 reaching the bridge to the East Hamptons area while the sun is rising some where behind clouds.

 

Meeting with the team and and two more riders joining in -- and off they go...

Here some funny kid jumped on for a moment and also gave it a try up front for a moment...

 At the point...

 and all the way back with some Hamptons site seeing....

In thoughts about Jensens hour ride

Just a real quick all out Road Ride Lunch to make 50km.

Elizaville continued

One more day riding from Elizaville, a nice sunny day!

And a beautiful ride in some not yet explored NY counties. Good Cappuccino :) And several nice fun rollers.

Elizaville

Elizaville, New York. A little weekend trip for some beautiful riding on nice quite rolling roads wit GAB Bob and Elliot. A fairly chilly morning, overcast. A few drops later. Good ride. And a post ride swim in Elliots lake...
