Beast Mode

Total Miles: 111.78
Start Point: 100th St & Lenox Ave
End Point: 100th St & Lenox Ave

The gang Jay and I were up way before the sun rise to throw on our kits, pump up our tires hit the road to meet up with the other thousands of riders for the NYC Century ride.  Our route would be just over 100 miles and take us through Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx.  (I was not the best about taking photos, so I took a few off Instagram).


In less than an hour we were coasting moving at a snails pace over the Brooklyn Bridge




Around 0830 we were starting to get hungry and what better place to stop for second breakfast than at the one and only Nathans Hotdogs (dance video taken as well).


Part of the ride took us through the Rockaways which I have not visited since January when a couple of us helped with some of the rebuilding efforts.  After lunch we came across a five star chalking which pointed the way to a velodrome; a great way to get in some speed (especially after eating some pizza and Blue). 


Still doing pretty well with 17 miles to go!


And then off to Bronx for the final leg of the trip!


This guy had one of the best jerseys of the day (not anatomically correct, but still cool)


The best part about wrapping up the ride, besides getting off the bike seat?  
Seeing SUSAN (and eating some burgers)!!!
