Tri state was a blast. Some ugh moments to be sure, but a really great ride overall for a great cause.
Here are my cell pictures from the road and
some of daves (you need a myspace account to see daves).
Dave had his real camera also which obviously has much better quality pictures. However, I didn\'t care if I dropped my old cell phone, so most of these are taken en route. I\'ll write about it later. I have not been to sleep since 5am yesterday except for a little in the car with dave driving back last night and another hour at home before I had to get up for work.
So, I saw in the other thread that you went through east haven around 2:00pm saturday. I\'m assuming you just went Rt. 1, but there was a pretty decent sized group of riders going through Main St. of Durham around 10:30-11:00am on Saturday, was that you all?

Congrats and glad you made it! A great ride for a great cause. Good to have you guys at the Chez Wolf base camp before the start of the ride. Get some rest and great work!
P.S. Those roid-munching pussies over at the Tour De France can eat your shorts!
Congrat\'s you guys!! I\'m impressed beyond words.
Max Heart Rate: 238bpm (definitely wrong)

Nice job guys! :thumbsup::thumbsup:
You guys are amazing.
I\'m really proud of you guys.

i believe so. i looked at the chart, and it looks like the HRM was a little kooky right at the beginning of the ride, then fixed itself. looks like my real max was about 181bpm that day..
I must have just missed you guys on Saturday, damn, I wish I knew, I would have had some gatorade for you guys.
Good job-you accomplished something huge.
When all those people road through staven, they must have thought they road past New York right into the arm pit-Jersey!!!!!
You guys should organize a breakfast ride. Follow the guys on tour via bikes!!!
All proceeds go to the band!!
Ha ha!
I\'m not sure if that\'s more of a crack on Staven or Jersey. I\'ll let be on Staven since NJ gets such a bad rap for the most part because the only part of the state people see is Newark. But as for the armpit comment, I challenge and of you CT people to drive on Route 8 in the valley with you windows open on a hot day - you\'ll be wishing it smelled like NJ!

See, it\'s brilliant marketing ideas like this that would catapult Breakfast popularity worldwide. Nikki should manage the flippin band.
