Title: Anybody go riding today?
Post by: TrpprJhn on February 08, 2009, 03:08:36 PM
I was out in Manhattan. Up and down the FDR and West Side Highway. The 696 is so iight, I was fighting the crosswind. It was gusty out there. Otherwise a great day to be out.

I was out there on the S4RS. Beautiful day cruising around Brooklyn, over the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan, up the east side, then over to the upper west side, stopped for a coffee, back east to the FDR, over the bridge and home to Brooklyn. I saw a white 696 on the east side, a dark on the west, another monster on the FDR who beeped and two monsters parked. Nice to see all.
Cheers!

Put 80 miles on mine. SI, belt park east to airport, VanWyck to tri-borough, LIE to midtown tunnel, BQE to ConeyIsland and back to SI. Awesome weather. Tested out new leather pants and tall boots. Good gear is a must. Saw lots of other riders. We should drive in packs...

Down to Manhattan to buy dinner fixins then up to White Plains on the Bronx River Parkway and some local roads and back.  Glorious weather!

I'll bet that 696 was me. I honked back, but you were already two blocks away! I made the opposite loop, stopping in DUMBO for a bite to eat.

I was out on Long Island, took a cruise to greenport and back.   The city is too far for me looks like there is a ton of monsters out there.
