Riverhead to New Suffolk Again

It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
I had the radio on, I was riding
The trees went by, me and del were singin
Little runaway, I was flyin
Yeah runnin down a dream
That never would come to me... Tom Petty

I used my MTB for this ride so I wasn't exactly flying. The round trip from the Riverhead Waterfront to New Suffolk 34 miles round trip, I averaged 15.1 MPH, max speed 24.2 MPH going down hill with a good tail wind. Two spots along New Suffolk Avenue have spectacular views of the Peconic Bay and the Salt Marshes.

Shinn Estate Vineyard

The Shinn Estate Vineyards is one of the smaller of over 25 Vineyards in Long Island's North Fork. The tranquil and peaceful setting reminds me of a Zen Garden. I didn't try the wines, but definitely will when being steady on two wheels is not required.
