The past few days the weather has been perfect for riding. Today was easily one of the top 10 days of the year. Since I'm off from work on Wednesdays I was able to get most of the retired members of the posse to join me for a ride down to the shore. Now that Labor Day has passed and the kids are back in school the shore is a lot less crowed so I decided to do a ride to Belmar.
We started at the Manasquan Reservoir which is very close to where I live now. It was a little crisp at the start of the ride but didn't need the arm warmers just yet. My route took us to and through the area around Allarie before heading down through Brielle to Manasquan. We went by the inlet then rode the boardwalk along the beach. The beach wasn't that crowded so we didn't have to dodge too many people.
From there we headed through Seagirt and up along the ocean to our usual stop in Belmar. We have not been to the beach this year so it was a nice change of pace to hang out by the beach in the sun.
On the way back I took a different way that head north and along the shark river. I did this for two reason. First to visit my wife, for a few minute, who was hanging out on the beach in Avon by the Sea and because I like the view around the shark river.
We had an east wind so we quickly cruise back to the reservoir and were back by noon. I have no complains about this ride. We didn't have any mechanical or physical problems. The weather was picture perfect and I didn't get a lot of complains from anybody so maybe we will do this one again sometime.
