Annual +BBB+ of 2009 was on schedule today. Py got up very early around 4:30isch, still pitch dark -- regular morning thingy. Out of the door just around sun rise at 5:45am
... and riding to the main parking for the start of the dedicated faster goup ride at 7:30am -- odometer already reading 22mi.
En route... moving well and getting to teh 1st boat and paying the ferryman.

off the boat and flying cross Shelter Isalnd on a little more winding and scenic route getting to the second boat and 1st rest/foot/water stop.
On the boat No two.
proceeding via Sag Harbour to teh 2nd furthest out East Water Stop.
Rolling off again... soem nice scenery and gentle rolling roads to fly over...
and to miss two turns due to missing or washed to invisibility route markings -- at least there was no pre turn mark to get prepared -- can not make a turn "on-spot" at 25mph with a group in pace line behind....

A very nice and scening route winding via the Hamptons is coming up....
proceeding to the last Water Staop at Shinnecock. Some tired cyclists...
Taking off for the hoem-run.
the first and only flat stop. A perfect day, all sun shine no significent wind and perfect temperature -- can hardly be any better. Also well equipped Water stops -- with that only one above mentionend issue asking for improovement for next time -- all was perfectly fine. Thanks to SBRA getting all teh logistics done again!
