Of course it was a social occasion, not just a bike ride.
When bikes get together they probably swap tales about their riders.
Stops always require either tall tales or lunch.
Top explaining the proper way to check a tire
and why his preferred tire brand is Maypop
Frog, myself, and Ganny (l to r) having the required lunch at the Wellfleet turnaround point
Top tried to hide his spiffy Peugeot racing jersey
None of us rode over to the Atlantic at the end. We were too frightened by Top's explanations of how gigantic the sand sharks could be.
"It was
this big!"
"Really! It was
this big!"
And sometimes we managed to get back on the bikes to finish the ride.
It was a great day!
