I rode pretty well. There were 17 of us. Only one flat tire near the end which is fairly miraculous. The highlights include: <strong>The map.<\/strong> You should see this sucker. What was I planning on doing without the map? <strong>The first 80 miles<\/strong> were pleasant. Nice, sunny, perfect temperature. Then it started getting cold and misty. My knees were killing me. I kicked it into high gear. Then I got to those damn hills at the end. Are we supposed to take Old Montauk Highway or regular Montauk Highway? We&#8217;ll never know. Anyhow I got to the hotel and had gone approx 90 miles, and couldn&#8217;t bear the thought of going to the lighthouse when it was too cold and trying to get up that super steep hill on the way back. So I started in on the Coors and did well with that. I&#8217;m feeling good now, my knees feel a little shot still (I wonder if I should raise my seat more), and my ass area is tender. <\/p>\n<p>Before that (last Wednesday) was my birthday. I sent out one sparse email and way more people than I&#8217;d expected showed up. It was nice and I was happy. My drinks were bought for me and I was given lots of cookies and a kazoo trumpet and a yo yo. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Film<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Bedford Incident. I really liked this movie. If your into military movies check it out.<br \/>\nChop Shop. About these orphan kids in Queens. I wonder if it has any truth to it? If so, sad. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Graffiti from the Montauk gazebo.
