Janelle had to work this weekend so I decided to do a longish bike ride. Longish for me anyway. It was chilly, in the 50s so I suited up in all of my cool weather gear - arm warmers and a wind vest and pedaled off for the beach road. I tend to stay along the beach because, well, it's mostly flat and being as heavy as I am doesn't mix well with hills.
I took a few pictures of the beach on my way around. I ended up doing just under 25 miles in about an hour and 35 minutes. I did end up passing three older guys on an uphill at one point, which was a good psychological boost.
This is the first beach I passed, Sasco Hill Beach in Southport, CT:
It was about 10am so and chilly so not many folks around. The second beach I stopped at was Compo Beach in Westport CT:
So, not the Tour De France, or even the Tour of Connecticut but fun and good exercise. Janelle's going to be at a conference most of next week so we'll see where I end up!

What a great ride! I wish we had some of that around here. :-)
That's actually one of the few things I like about living up here as opposed to Cville. I could barely make it two miles from my house without dying because of the hills!
