Beautiful ride today. It was five of us at the start at Base Camp: Locomotive, Beast, Shrek, Gus and Jae. It was chilly in the beginning, but as soon as the sun came out it felt much better.
Today we turned left at Wheatley and did a hilly ride, starting with Horseshoe, Mill Hill and Moore's. From there we proceeded to CSH, where Shrek, Gus and Jae took a more direct way to Snake, while Loco and I went the hard way, via Lawrence. We regrouped at the top of Snake. From there it was the usual way back through Huntington to Syosset and the 7-11. Loco was in great form today, often leaving all of us behind.
Shrek beginning to struggle, decided to skip the stop and the campus and took a more direct way back via the LIE. The four of us managed to managed to keep more-or-less together, if not within line-of-sight of each other, through the campus and the LIE, at which point Jae started fading and went home to Bayside on his own. Gus managed to hang until we were back in GN and kept riding home to College Point.
Loco and I totaled about 65 miles at 16.5 average (for me). Loco's average must have been higher, since he kept blowing off the front.
Same time and place tomorrow. We're hoping for another nice turnout. We want to hear from Stitches and his overseas trip. We'll probably run into some Wheelmen at Wheatley around 8:30.
