Besides the occasional hardy European group, this years tours really got rollin' the second week in March with a few great rides.
On March 14th I had wonderful custom ride to Red Hook complete with Aussie meat pies and Key lime pies. As you can see in the picture, my buddies from Rochester didn't trust my weather forcast (there was no rain!) AND didn't trust that I'd bring ponchos along just in case--- they made their own rain suites out of duck tape and trash bags from their hotel!
Earlier that week, I did a shorter version of Tour D for 7 Dutchmen. Upon meeting this great group of guys at that the bike shop, they said that they were 'old men' and needed the ride to be slow and relaxed. Little did I know, one of them was Wim Kieft, one of the great Dutch soccer players of all time. Old Men!? These were no old men! My only regret of that day was not bringing a soccer ball to knock around during our stop at pier 40. I did, however, get a chance to handily beat Wim up the Brooklyn Bridge.
