I rode the Ellen Farrant Memorial Bikeway aka Jones Beach bike path which I have been making as my after work ride for about a month now. I wish I thought of this from Spring time as my rides after work were always a route from my house and dealing with traffic from those coming home from work, lights etc. Although I hate to drive to a riding place, I found this to be best for after work.

Although riding the path both ways is only 9.5 miles, I usually ride it twice before the sun is set. Yesterday there was a wicked south west wind, so I only rode it once then rode loops around the park where the path begins to give me 14 miles.

Lack of sunlight is getting earlier and earlier. how sad.
