My longest bike ride in nearly 27 years

Yesterday, our little "Tuesday/Thursday" bike riding group took off on a great adventure on one of the most beautiful days we have had in quite a while. Wonderful high sirrus and cumulus clouds added interest to the clear blue sky and provided a backdrop to the pictures Deanna and I took.

Here is the Profile of the ride:



And here are some pictures from the great adventure. The first one is of our "tour guide," and the person who inspired this long ride.

Shortly after Deanna took a couple of pictures of our group, a woman came up and volunteered to take a picture of the entire group.



Right behind us was this great, old ship.

Along the boardwalk on the bay, there are sculptures that change every six months or so. Larry told us about this one and we had to stop to admire it as it turned in the breeze.

Deanna's picture of the same sculpture came out really well.



Our ultimate destination turned out to be Shelter Island where this boat, a reproduction of Christopher Columbus' boat, The Nina. Seeing that ship was the purpose of our ride.


It was a fantastic day, a wonderful ride, and a truly-great adventure. I am indebted to Deanna for coming up with the idea.
