Sunday saw Lisa and I tackle the 5 'boro' bike race here in New York. 45 miles, 30 degrees, blue skies and no sun cream. So, for those who didn't sponsor us....tut tut, and you should be ashamed! For the other person - thanks for the support!
The race saw us cycle through all 5 of New York City's boroughs, that's Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island - in increasing order of shabbiness, with the finish line just past the monolithic Verrazano bridge, which takes all the fun out of being on a bike. But awaiting for us the other side, the finish 'festival', shade under a tree, and the Staten Island Ferry back to Manhattan.
Next trip, our first 'century' - 100 miles in day, and then....perhaps, when it starts to cool down again, New York to Montreal? I dunno though, 400 miles might be pushing it...
