5/30/15, 2 Hudson bridges, 80.4mi, 1c3, 1c4, 3c5, C683, 27.3% **

New post-1991 distance record. Long and hot ride, with headwinds when going south and not much by way of food-break choices on the 44/55/32 (Highland to Newburgh) stretch, but still good. Not a terrible slice 40-something miles in at Fat Mike's somewhere between Modena and Plattekill.

5/25/15, Sharon-Millerton, 70.8mi, 1c4, 1c5, C580, 23.2%

Charted some new territory between Amenia Union and Sharon, thence to Millerton. Excellent lunch at Irving Coffee Co. Temps in low 80s but didn't overheat, tho came a bit close almost all the way home when I ran out of water.

Longest ride since I started keeping track in May 2008. Probably longest ride since the NYC Century in ~1992.

Absolutely perfect biking day. Temps in low 60s, glorious blue skies and everything in peak of spring greenness. Late afternoon ride, wanted to squeeze 40 mi in. Went a new piece off of Clove Rd to Shaughnessy and Duncan Rd.
