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. ><((((º> `•.¸¸.•´¯`•...¸><((((º> Hug your mom more ! ! Paul Dona A "not neat" knot is a knot not needed ><((((º> `•.¸¸.•´¯`•...¸><((((º>

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?
