Hey Jo-n-NY!
Great to see that there are girls here from NY. I live in Staten Island but on weekends i am actually on Long Island with my boyfriend. We ride together and he is teaching me. We live way far all the way in Bellport, but i love the area because you can ride in beautiful places. I am planning to come out riding to Syosset, i been there and it is awsome place to ride, I am just scared of the traffic, so as soon as i am ready i am going to be there. You are right about that nasty spring. I also wore a t-shirt without putting on sunscreen and now i am walking around Manhattan with what local fashion fans would call "farm tan", but ohhh well the most important thing is that we know how we got it and we are damn PROUD I hope you will have a chance to ride this weekend.

Happy rides to you too
