Went For a Ride Today
A bit chilly today 54F. But it was such a nice day that had to go for a 80 mile ride. The pictures were taken on Ocean Parkway which runs about 20 miles. On one side is the Atlantic Ocean and the other Great South Bay.

Good morning Brian and thanks for sharing your pictures.
That is one fine looking machine right there.

Re: Went For a Ride Today
Very nice photos, Brian!!
I wish the rides you took while in Saratoga Springs quite a few weeks ago, would have been as colorful as my ride to Whiteface Mountain last Thursday.

Re: Went For a Ride Today
Thanks Cliff. The NorthEast Ride is scheduled for the weekend after Memorial Day. Location still needs to be finalized but looks like the Catskill Region. I'll start a separate thread with more information.gltriker wrote:Very nice photos, Brian!!

Well, another great day (82F) on Long Island. So naturally, I had a full gas tank that needed draining... 130 mile ride!

Re: Went For a Ride Today
54F isn't cold, that's almost 13C! A couple of winters ago I went to work, 25 miles, when it was 28F (-2C) and I was cold before I got out the village, so last year I bought a car. It's a Kia Picanto in Honey Bee Yellow, 3 cylinders, 1000cc of South Korean magic, and we love her. Then, last year, just as the weather got really cold, Karens car broke down so she used my car to get to work, and I still ended up on the bike!!! Now that's love
