Here are three photo albums of riding that SBRA members did off LI in 2015 ...
The story with each of these are:
Alley's PA Perimeter Ride against cancer: SBRA can be proud that Alison prevailed on this challenge provided by the American Cancer Society; she raised over $2000 for the batttle against cancer and in six days rode over 500 miles and climbed almost 30,000. Alison's riding is an inspiration to many!
Tom's ride in Costa Rica: Tom Farre took an adventure to Costs Rica during the late winter of 2015. His ride with Saddle Skedaddle crossed the country on a 13-day trip from Cahuita, on the Caribbean coast, over the mountains to Playa Samara on the Pacific. The 400-mile ride had days of climbing over 5000 feet, including the 12-mile Mountain of Death. Along the way there were beaches, volcanoes and rain forests, as well as fireworks on the beach on New Years Eve. A great end to a year of riding.
Elyse & Marty 's London to Karkow trip: Elyse and Marty Buchman had an adventure of riding, unsupported, from London, UK to Karakow, Poland. They rode a total of 2,000+ miles in just over 5 weeks. The reported mileage is approximate because their one unfortunate incident occurred when their trip computer was stolen. Elyse and Marty had 2-3 day stop over’s in all the major cities they rode through. This adventurous couple averaged about 65-75 miles/day. Their last 2 weeks of riding entailed riding through the hottest heat wave Europe ever suffered. To make their scheduled plans they rode daily, for two weeks, when it wss 90-100 degress. Their enjoyment of this (and prior cycling adventers) has led them to their newest venture of opening a Cycling Bed and Breakfast, in Stony Brook, this coming June. Check it out at http://thestonybrookside.com . I'm sure SBRA cyclists would appreciate their type of hospitality on trip away from LI.
