CCRT season opener report!

First, an obligatory nyah nyah to Scottryder (Top's suggestion but we all agreed) who didn't make it! It was a great day for ride!

Three bikes, four people. Top506 (Mark) on his Gitane, my co-worker Eric on his Peugeot, and Sharon and myself on our Peugeot tandem. Yes, there were three French bikes! Only two were blue though.

We rode from Dennis to Wellfleet and over to the Atlantic Ocean, back to the CCRT/OCRT rotary. Due to time pressure Top had pulled ahead, but Eric and Sharon and I went east on the rotary toward Eric's house. He turned off toward home, and Sharon and I went back to the car in Dennis. 54.39 miles, max speed 24.1mph (not bad considering that it wasn't due to a downhill!).

It was great day! Great to meet Top506, and to ride with Eric again.

Now some proof that it happened.
At the start:


Our first stop in Nickerson State Forest:


A few pics from the Chocolate Sparrow, a favorite stop in Orleans. Some bike talk, and more bike talk:




Overlooking the Atlantic from the Wellfleet dunes:




An obligatory squeeze:


Three French bikes:
