Dusk On The Peconic BaY

It was a late afternoon ride and I had to wait until a sudden thunder shower had passed. Just about a mile from home I stopped on the bridge over the creek to admire and capture this view.

Shelter Island

Shelter Island is nestled between the North and South Forks of Long Island. The island is around 8,000 acres in size. However, vast tracts are protected wetlands nature preserve marshland. Nearly one-third of the island is owned by The Nature Conservancy and kept in a forever-wild state. The Island can be reached via ferry from Greenport to the north (approximately 15-minute trip) or from North Haven to the south (approximately 5-minute trip).

Peach Cherry, Blueberry or Apple Pie?

One of each please.

Anyone want a second piece?

Thanks, one will do for now.
Hmm... on second thought, the additional fuel will come in handy

Winter Bicycling?

While not exactly bicycling, Nordic Skiing or cros country skiing is my winter alternative to bicycling. The aerobic benefits is arguably equivalent. But the enjoyment of New York's Adirondack Park , 6.1 million acres of wilderness, has no equal.

Snow covered and primed.

My Bicycle

My bicycle it's almost my constant companion. Some one once said to me, 'I'm surprised you don't take that thing to bed with you!' I replied 'I don't need to, when I'm asleep I have a 'dream bicycle' and I am smugly bypassing gas stations, and SUV's waiting at the traffic circle in The Hamptons.

Seat stays blending into the seat tube and seat bolt binder.

Ishiwata oversized fork and lugless fork crown.

The jewel-like finish of the Campagnolo Crank.

The compact Simano 13-22 9 speed cassette. A smooth shifting and quiet combination, the only sound is the beating of my heart at 145 BPM and the buzzing of the 110 PSI kevlar tires on the macadam road.
