Early Birds North - wetisch warm & fast

After a all day rained out grey Saturday, finally it stopped raining some time at night. Looking good for the Birds on Sunday. Early up and ready, it justs did not wanted to get some Light outside... putting on clear lenses and waiting 10 more minutes, it just was enough to see and hopefully be seen with his red blinky tail light. Getting to Manorville around 7:15 the sun was visible the first time just coming up -- nice -- however, it was comfortable warm compared to lasty days, but this comes together with high humidity and almost never drying up roads.

The North Route was on schedule... a nice group assembled of some of the usual Birds and with a slight late start they flew out.

The sun felt nice :-) Good moving over the tanks and a fast run down to the reassembly, proceeding further east on some Shore Rd passing by wine fields -- a very quite setting -- cutting back in South quite fast as well and starting the return towards Cutchogue for a Deli & Coffee stop.

From there flying back at warp speed finishing with the usual high speed section on 51. Good ride. Returning part way home w OC. Total today: 80mi.

Stats in brief -- averages of the three group sections: 22.5mph -- 22.0mph -- 23.7mph
