I Join the Club

Turned 50, and celebrated with a 150 mile motel tour, NYC to Montauk, the extreme end of Long Island. This ride is often done as an organized Century ride, or part of it anyway. I decided to do it at my pace and try out loaded touring. It's mostly flat, for what it's worth, and very scenic.

I have a writeup in Regional Discussions / Northeast. (It may've slipped down on the screen a bit; "Ride to Montauk" is a separate thread about a Century ride)

And now there are pictures too:
They are at:

If you click on a thumbnail, you get a snapshot with a caption (if any). Then if you click "All Sizes" you get a blowup. 2 back-clicks return you to the thumbnails.
