put on about 125 miles between friday sat and sunday

from saturdays 70 mile, rode out to lido beach long island all all around the rockaways and breezy. as well and everything in between

Lido Beach Golf Course


got a flat on the way back just before sun down in the rockaways, damn beer bottle


flat #2 , woke up sunday, the tube i installed had a slow leak, i must have pinched the tube on the way home. it seemed like my co2 only inflated to maybe 50psi. was about a 10 mile ride to the gas station where i was able to get some more air. So sunday morning, pumped it back up and headed to long island via LIRR. Was able to stop in at a bike shop to pick up some spare tubes and co2


Rode around the north fork of long island, its so beautiful out there. totally different world.

some farm we stopped at for some roasted corn and fruit



where we had lunch, by the water. was surreal




one thing i notice out in the suburbs is that drivers seem to have a different mentality when it comes to cyclists. you definitely aren't given any right of way or courtesy. if you take the lane because theres a car in the bike path, people start beeping and seem annoyed. this happened a few times, and they all got the brooklyn FU while they rode past of course but overall, an awesome weekend on the bad boy!
