What a day! We started out pretty good on Wadsworth Avenue in Staten Island. The first group left and some made it to the 6:00am Ferry. Then some made the 6:30am Ferry. Then we heard someone made the “NEXT†Ferry. By this time some of the group had taken off onto the ride. Once we got going on the ride most stayed together the first 20 miles “or so.†The rain was light for most of the first half. The second half proved to be more “wet.†By the time we returned to Wadsworth Avenue (1:30pm) most of the group had already left having returned just after noon and some were just sitting in their cars awaiting the remainder riders. We were wet, cold and exhausted. All in all I would do it again next year even under these weather conditions. We came for the ride with the high hopes of a BBQ afterwards, BUT the “RIDE†is still the “RIDE!â€
Good to see you all once again …. Even at those ridiculous hours of the morning!
