FLCC> Sheldrake Ride

[Wayne Gottlieb]

If I was not at Cape Cod, I would have continued on with you Mark.  Instead I rode this morning from Olean to Chatham, about 18 miles there and back.  They have this long, mostly flat bike path that goes 26 miles through the cape.  It's a great path, but of course you have to share it with walkers, dogs, kids on bikes and anybody who's slower than you.  At 7:30 it isn't too bad.  Also, every mile or so, you have to stop for cross traffic.  I hope to join the Sunday ride next week.  Wayne
