Thanks, Mitch ! I made all my $$ goals to get home check in, and the awesome after party in November.

Wet roads to start, but I'm ready !! 14 of us did 70 miles this past Sunday. New London ferry to Orient point ,then biked and took ferries to the Hamptons and back. SUPER flat, and easy, but a ton of fun along the way. Claudios was a joke ! 3 hr wait to get in! We opted for a restaurant at Orient point.

What should we have done? I will be setting up another ride soon.

Have fun my friend. Hoping for a safe ride for you. Also thank you for encouraging me to be a better cyclist. I am new and your advice will help me meet this year's riding goal.

If I fish more I need more lures. If I had more lures I would fish more. I don't think I'm addicted do you?

What are my wife and I ? . . . . . . Chopped Liver. wtf

We are going a soft (by Paul standards) 40 miles on Saturday grin

Not IRON MAN 100 miles like Paul. bowdown

Paul . . . . lets catch up for a photo like last year.

For those who might be considering this . . . . all I can say is that is the most uplifting experience for all involved . . . DO IT !

Wasn't sure if you were onboard again, Todd. Nice. Good to see you also eclipse your fundraising goal. Nice work.

Look forward to some pics and follow-up on how the day went.

Have a great ride!

Todd, you guys rock it! Didn't you guys do the 25 last year? Yes, let's get a picture! We'll be up front to the left like last year.
Everyone say a prayer for no rain. I'm thinking wet roads to start. : (

I'm hoping 2500 riders Karma kicks in and we have tail winds ! : ) NNW near when we're on the shoreline. I'm optimistic~
