NBW The Bridge Ride

I had today off and the weather was perfect for a ride, so I decided to do yesterday's club ride.I knew it was a hilly ride so I only did the middle loop.


There was plenty of great views to look at and plenty of hills to climb. I was in my granny gear more today, than any other ride I've done this year.


This was a nice long down hill on RT16 then I had to pay for it on a two mile climb on King st.

The start of the climb on King st.

The top of the climb and a perfect place for my first rest stop.



That's an old house around here.

Saturday Ride With John

John and I had a chance to get a ride in this morning before he goes on vacation tomorrow. The weather was iffy, but we decided to go for it and only got rained on for about 3 miles and it wasn't that hard.


We started at the train station and took the bike path south, then headed out to Great Island and Point Judith.


Here we are going over the bridge to Great island, there were some really nice houses to check out as we rode around the island.



Our first rest stop included two Porta Johns, you can't go wrong with that. Next was Point Judith where you can catch a ferry to Block Island if you like.

Whenever there's a storm near by, the surfers come out in force to catch some waves. They wear wet suits because the water is pretty cold up here.



This was our second rest stop at Narragansett beach.You can tell that the weather sucks,normally the beach is jammed with people.


This is the return on the bike path and some really nice graffiti.
