We

The park was empty and so was the bike path all the way to Jones

Beach. It

was shivering cold and raining. We dressed appropriately. We hopped

on the

bikes and made our way against the headwind all the way to the Beach.

Its

Quoted message said:

only about 8 miles each way, but it felt like much longer with our

weak legs

Quoted message said:

and the wind beating on our faces. We arrived at the Beach and Jim

noticed

that his chain had gotten slackened. He pulled out the Surly Jethro

Tule and

tightened his chain. The waves were big and strong on the beach,

We rode back to Cedar Creek, 8 miles back and did a couple of cool

around the crit track. We did 16 miles in total. Not bad for a first

time

Quoted message said:

out in a long time.

I hope this is a good sign of things to come...

Welcome back! 16 fixed miles is admirable for last weekend. I went out
and dawdled through two laps in Prospect Park ( less than 7 mi )before
packing it in yesterday.

Hey welcome back. Great to hear you're turning the cranks again. Sounds
like a great effort. I'm sure you guys will be back up to speed in no
time as long as you can stay healthy!

Luck! Looking forward to the resumption of the "kick ass" .sig! 😉

Last I remember you and Jim had the run in with bb
gunner. I got out too for a test ride to make sure the replacement
cassette doesn't slip like the old one did in the two small cogs. Worked
out fine and the test lasted 10 miles. Got to even see the mock terror
attack. Thats right New London CT.
