What a beautiful day to ride! Started out sunny, 65-70ish though a little breezy - 15-20 west winds but we were traveling north/south so the breeze felt good. We rode up the coast to Gordon's Pond, and back. Nice to see the ocean from lots of vantage points. Stopped at a chi-chi restaruant for some lunch. The waitress watched us down our glasses of water and said "You must be exercising or something." DUH - the bike clothes didn't offer a hint? We came out of the cafe and it had clouded over. Walked our bikes a couple blocks on the boardwalk so we could sight-see. Then we hopped back on the bikes for the last 10 miles. Looked like rain but never got any.

Saw a flock of Canada Geese (they are everywhere really) but there was one interloper in the flock. This one was mostly white, but with a mottled appearance. Sort of like a cow. No black tips on the wings so not a snow goose but what was it? I found some pix online but that (very unscientific) site suggested a snow goose so who knows. They say geese mate for life - wonder what it mated with? Anothe site talked about "hybrids."

We did 38 miles and it really felt good.
