Early Birds -- North Route -- "on Fire"

Saturday's RP2IPBP ride canceled due to Danny's wash out all over LI.

Sunday -- early morning ride to Manorville, noticeably more dusky than last times around 6:30, slightly chilly with about 18C, high humidity and still not yet dried up roads, overcast. Py felt some what not yet really awake, missed some sleep due to last night coding work... Arriving at Manorville just one rider there, but few more showed up last minute until start. And good number of strong riders B, C, M, G and few more also a few newer Birds inbetween and our fast female Birds. Rolling off the parking lot about 5 minutes late... Nice decent and steady pace out and over "The Tanks", pretty fast move in the head group of 4 or have we been 5 in front? Proceeding east and over and back South and West to Cutchogue. Very brief stop, Py just had a few seconds to finish up his coffee -- some one was on fire and rushing... however mainly the head group and a few more -- now counting about 20 legs -- took off very soon again and was kind of on fire all the time and back. B,C taking good fast pulls, all others as well, but a bit more brief. Moving all the time around 24..30mph -- averaging all the way back about 40.5km/h. Loosing a few riders on Rte 51... finishing with 5.

Stats: Py's total 80mi

... and @Karl, the imperial number we were wondering about is 143 or about 10.2 in some other unit used in English speaking countries.
