Wildwood Report

So what happened this weeked? Diana, Adam, and I all rode the train to Long Island, got on our bikes and rode to Wildwood State park. Some debaucherous beach action happened (see photos), a little camping, and lots of mexicans and filipinos at the beach. who knew? We stopped at an army surplus store in port jefferson that was oddly stocked with the standard military gear and a bunch of chinese commie propaganda. They were selling the little read book! I bought a pocket watch with Mao waving at you and Adam and Diana bought a "totally hot" mess kit.
The total round-trip was about 30 miles of biking and we managed to get three flat tires in that time span (2 Adam, 1 Eric), which is amazing considering that Diana and I rode 600 miles to Maine and managed to avoid getting a single flat. Go figure. The third flat happened about 2 miles away from the train station with 20 minutes to spare, but luckily I bought a patch kit before we left, because we used both spare tubes... Adam's rear tire was also threadbare in one spot so we had to reinforce it with the cardboard from the spare tube box. Apparently he can't get enough skidding in on his velo. We also found a bunch of rapsberries on the side of the road, they were uber tasty. This is sure to be the first in an instalment of weekend bike trips, so stay tuned.
