Glad you guys had a good ride. The weather was perfect. Nothing like fall riding in New England.

Video of ride from Falmouth to Woods Hole. Tried 1080 at 30 frames. Will have to go back to 720 at 60 frames. The video is much better at 720 and 60 frames.

Picture of Victor giving me push backwards up a hill so that we could turn around and go in the opposite direction.

That picture needs a good caption!
Here are some more pics of the day - as always there are never enough photos.

"And STAY outta my yard, damn kids and their damn bikes!"

Seriously Sam, the weather that day was BRILLIANT. Dry cool air with clear blue skies, not much traffic, great roads, a biking dream for this part of the country. You westerners probably prefer broad plains with mountains in the background but around here we get sappy for Atlantic breezes and the smell of saltwater. It was a short ride of just 100 miles for me round trip, but one to fondly remember.

You never know Sam, about either of those really, but I am already in the pipe-dream phases of considering a coast-to-coast road trip as early as next summer. If that happens you could find yourself on the list!

You don't come off the island and you're going to ride your bike coast to coast?

I'm not half the man you are Neil, I would not ride my bike coast to coast, I would tow it on a trailer behind a plush vehicle. I would drive to an area I liked and use the bike for recon and sight seeing. I admire people who would ride the whole way. Maybe I would some day but for now you gotta remember this is only my third season of riding ever, I would be packing a female passenger, and we've both seen 60. Let me pull it off on a trailer first and see how that goes, then we'll talk about riding the whole way.

C'mon Joe KEEP UP damnit!
