I did my usual sunrise ride today, but I was going for distance this time... first I rode down to the Bronx and then I took off for White Plains, when I got to White Plains, I decided to go further and I rode up to Valhalla and the Kensico Dam Plaza with the 9/11 memorial, "The Rising"
The Rising is an 80 foot high sculpture with the names of the 111 victims from Westchester inscribed at the bottom, and you can walk into the center of it also.
On the way home I got my first flat in over a year... I've been out of practice so it took me a while to change it... the piece of glass that got me (actually a piece of mirror) left a big slice in my tire, so I had to be careful on the way home... every few miles I got off the bike and checked to make sure I didn't pick up anything else.
But I wound up with 40 miles anyway... I probably would have gone for 50 if it hadn't been for the flat... next time... oh well... have a great day all.
