Rode another century yesterday with TimmyT, here shown at the Big Duck at Flanders, L. I. , N. Y.



I took more photos, but (would you believe...) they didn't come out any better than that one.

The fun thing was that I rode my Lambert 3-speed again (that's the red bike in the foreground of that photo), but had converted it to a fixie. A three speed fixie, that is, with the Sturmey Archer S3X hub. Not having ridden a fixed gear bike for any length of time before this, I had no idea how hard this would be. Especially on the part of me where I sit.

We saw deer, turkeys, rabbits, white herons, a blue heron, jumping fish, sand pipers, piping plover, geese, and some other ducky things that might have been, well, ducks.

And it was hot! Salty water would drip into my eyes every time we stopped. Can't tell you how much water I drank. Enough, though.
