Getting over a bad crash from two weeks ago, my doctor cleared me to ride a few days before the event.
Officially I did the 35 mile route, but with several photo side trips. After the Astoria rest stop I set off on my own around Queens and back to Roosevelt Island to photograph the architecture. Then over the Queensboro, around midtown and up CP to the finish. Ended with another loop of the park and a ride up Riverside to where I parked. Finished with 55 miles.
Next year I'll try not to hurt myself before the ride.

ps Turned into an expensive ride. One of the pbj bagels sucked out a filling and now I need a crown.
