Brooke at the starting line- will it or won't it rain - that was the key question. In the 40's, but with a pretty fog over the land - notice I am not cold bc I have dressed appropriately.

And we are off! Remember this is not a race, it is a "ride" The majority of the time the road was clear riding, however in some parts - like here trying to enter central park - it was pretty packed.
I was in gate 3 of 5 starting blocks. These are the people behind me - there were 30,000 who registered
Brooke and the bridge - we rode over that. This is the second rest stop.
