So as of today these are the following tribesmen confirm for this ride Jontotman, Freearrow, Filho71 and Prancing Horse. Filho71 mentioned to me via email that Paul might come too so five of us will meet my roadies friends in GWB on Sunday by 7:30 AM

Most of you are coming from Queens if you guys want to save money and avoid paying the $8.00 toll, you can look for parking on the NYC side of GWB and we can just meet at the Jersey side by 7:30. See you guys Sunday. Brazil and Paul here's my number just in case 917-892-9531

[Prancing Horse]

Sure Jon but I will be parked on the NY side. We'll see.

I'm in! Riding from my apt in LIC around 7am.

Let me know if any of you Queens people will park in LIC and ride up.

Looking forward to it. Its been a long time!

Wow! that was long with a lot of ups and downs. In total I got 108 miles, my longest ride ever. We did a bunch of stops for food, flats and, of course we had to enjoy the view from Bear Mountain. I was expecting medium paced ride, but it was fast with my standards.

I just took a nice shower and now I'm giving the body what it needs; food and cold beer!

I had a great time today. Good job all!

Thanks for showing up for this ride Viking and Filho71 aka Brazil now we're all hurting because you guys pushed the pace a little too fast for all of us. ;D Yes that was a long fast pace ride to the peak of Bear Mountain and back to GWB. I finally can say that I reached the top of Bear Mountain and that was very rewarding especially for me that just coming back after a month off from riding. Thanks for Prancing Horse, Freearrow, Paul, Jubal and Izzy for this awesome ride. I think I won't be thinking bikes for at least a week after this grueling epic ride. Anyway, I think I will do what Viking doing right now...drink an ice cold cerveza.

Pictures will be posted tonight and video maybe tomorrow.
