    Looks like a spectacular ride. The spring sunshine seems to be continuing.

    thanks for commenting. Not sure 'spectacular' is the word. South of France, now that was spectacular. Maybe " big" captures it, and tediously slow in places. Event time was 8 hours and on-bike time was just under 5 hours, to cover a mere 44 miles (= about 12KM per hour) - and not because of lack of fitness! Glad to have done it, but would have been disappointed if I had come to NYC specifically just to do it.
