Forty miles of pushing ourselves along with one foot!
Here is the start:

| Deidre, Me, Lisa, Katie. We got separated from Deb, her sisters & Ciel at the start :( |
We thought the crowd would thin out as the ride progressed.
It didn't. But we kept our positive outlook!
A cold beer never hurt either!
And with a little patience, we did eventually see some pavement:
Quick pic at the end, then a long line and big crowd to get on the ferry.
When we could finally sit down, we could have slept. You can see it on Lisa's face!
The real disappointment of the weekend is that I have no pictures of the bizarre photographs in the flat we rented - women with scars, women and guns, a disturbing conflagration of women, sex and violence. Interesting backdrop for a women's weekend away!
All in all, this was an interesting concept: ride the 5 burroughs in NY to get to know the city. But the ride was so crowded we hardly pedaled. Then when we did, we didn't dare deviate from the crowd to stop for a pic, a drink, or to take in the scenery. On top of that, the route took us through main streets only - which makes sense with the crowd, but doesn't really let us get to know the neighborhood.
I think we all agreed, cool experience, but once is enough.
