Bike Ride - North Fork Redux

Horton Point LighthouseDistance: 56.6 mi, 4:04

Similar to my previous ride, Mark and I drove out to his friends house near Greenport. Starting there, we rode to the point and the park, but this time we swung left after passing our starting point and rode through town instead of staying on the truck route. We headed west on that road until we turned right on Peconic Lane, riding it until we hit the truck route again. On the way back we took a little detour to see the Horton Point Lighthouse. Instead of turning in to head back to the car, we continued on to Orient Point and rode the park again before finally returning to the car.

A gas station on the way to the point had the coldest Gatorade either one of us had ever tried to drink. I had a clipless pedal mishap at the station and skinned my knee (not to mention bruised my ego).

Great ride, and great weather.

* My HRM started acting strangely after about 3 hours, so the calorie reading is grossed up from the clean readings. The Avg and Max heartrates are pretty close.
