MTK

Hitting up MTK this weekend for some riding and R and R. Weather forecast looks sick! Should be a good time! Check back for pics.

Montauk

Old school Jeep ready for beach assault!

This guy cut his hand wide open with a clam knife and then spent the whole night showing it off to everyone like it was something to be proud of! Had to take a pic and his friends just sat back and watched the show!

Room with a view!

Alternative means of transport. Two sets of pedals, blinkers and a steering wheel fully ready for battling with gas guzzlers!

There were people on all kinds of bikes heading out on the road.

Reflecting on what turned out to be a great day!

Did my first century last week and it turned out to be an experience I will soon not forget. When you spend over five hours on a bike it's funny the things that you think of to pass the time and take your mind off the fact that your legs are hurting or body is telling you to stop. Once showing up in Montauk it soon became apparent that we had held up a solid pace and managed to finish in the top group of riders. After hanging out at the finish line for hours, due to the fact that there was a Blue Point trailer with free beers flowing and I just couldn't seem to leave until I had thoroughly gotten my fare share! I started to realize how the racks were filling up and there were still a lot of people still coming in, it was then that I realized that we had accomplished a solid ride.

Thanks to Brian for setting a blistering pace and kicking my ass at times but also for making the ride more enjoyable and also a big thanks to Blue Point Brewery for taking away any pains I might have had when the ride was over!
