 The Ride to Montauk Rivals The Sea Gull Century since the new route that Glen Goldstein has discovered.The riders travel  through the beautiful calm  backroads of L.I. for the whole course all with very little automobile traffic! I have put together a continuation.......

Message-ID: <496ab1dd1003211417y54a57e70v947e45c3ab839e2e@mail.gmail.com>

Today I went on a 10 mile ride with my new folding recumbent bike.  This was
the first production model of Butterfly Bicycles.

It had been two weeks since I took possession, so I was not sure that I
would remember how to fold and unfold it even though the manufacturer left
me a one page check list.  But I had no problems.

I wanted and easy ride for the maiden voyage, so I waited until my wife
wanted to ride with me.  She is a good rider, but a bit slower than me.  My
problem was that this new recumbent was not only smooth, but it also went
faster than I expected, causing me not to get much exercise on the ride as I
wanted to keep my bride in sight.  I took the hills, both up and down, very
well.  It also has a built in shock, so it was very smooth.

The components on the bike are first rate: Ultegra fork, etc.

The bike has beautiful fit and finish and is powder coated red.

It takes a minute to fold and 2 minutes to unfold.

I highly recommend it.

So do you plan on taking it on any trips? Is it convenient to take on  
planes? I tried googling, but couldn't find their website.

Hi Steve,

My review was rushed and I missed some important details.

Many Martians have already seen prototypes of the Butterfly.  Butterfly is
based on Rich Sadler's early folder models.  But this one is completely
different, faster (to fold and unfold and to ride), lighter, and beautiful
fit and finish.  (Actually, I am guessing that it rides faster.  The only
 way to tell is if someone rode both bikes and clocked the results.  It seem
fast.)

If you want more information, call Rich as he is the brains behind
Butterfly's operation.

Thanks, OP for the glowing review- I'm glad ( and relieved!) that you 
still like it. I'm delivering the second bike to RBR 
(http://www.rbr.info/index.php) in State College, PA- Rob & I are 
working on a consignment deal. I'm planning a "production run" after I 
finish my taxes, so if any of you MARSians are in the market for a 
travel bike, please keep me in mind.

I have a video of Rich taking it apart and putting it together.  I thought I
might need it, but it is so simple that even a klutz like me had no
problems.

That picture does not do it justice.  You need a lot more pixels to see how
beautiful it is.  I can bring it to the next ride.

 Hi Ric,
If you'd like I could put it up on my blog.Urban Mobility Project
with a little write up from you.

Rich
This Jan. I started riding my bike on the trainer for the first time since 
Chris' ride in the fall. My knee bothered me a bit before the ride and quite 
a bit more after the ride. As a result I haven't been on my bike till Jan. 
It feels OK at the moment so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
How goes the job?
Dick

I will be there--finally getting back from my fabulous tib-fib injury. Will be there on the V Rex. I will be up front in a group from NY Sports Club (if you're a member, you can ride in the first group for an extra $10 including lunch).

Sounds interesting! Is the object to keep up a good speed to not get overtaken by the crowd (and not be in the way of the fast riders), or just to go whatever speed you wish but avoid some of the slowdowns?

I like being up front because the majority of the people up there are not first-timers--they can handle a bike and steering in a crowd. In the back, people are packed too close together and one person making a minor adjustment can put a bunch of people on the street. 

Last year I was one of the first 200 finishers, even with the rain.

Here is one Marsian who will NOT be doing the 5-boro bike ride. The 
management has decided to no longer put recumbents up front, meaning 
that unless we want to get there at 5:00 AM, we will be way back in the 
pack. A friend did the ride once, and she told me she walked her bike 
almost up to Central Park. No thanks, that doesn't sound like fun; it 
sounds a bit like hell. I don't want to sound like a spoil-sport (but I 
am!), however, why on earth would anyone want to put themselves through 
that sort of unpleasantness.

If I were running the event, I would have at least 4 separate starts (I 
didn't say I was practical!), and then let everyone merge, say, at 
Central Park. By that time, there would have been a sufficient shake-out 
so the riders that get there will be with riders of like conditioning. 
The racers will get there first, followed by B-group riders, etc. Now 
that would be a nice way to ride through the City.

Instead of that ride, I plan on doing Glen Goldstein's Ride to Montauk 
on June 19th: 30 miles ? 66 miles ? 100 miles ? 145 miles. I'm tempted 
to do the big enchilada, but it's easier said than done.

Shelly: By the time I get to Montauk (after the 145 miler), I doubt that 
I'll have enough energy to even spell "Martha's Vineyard." It does sound 
like a helluva nice week, but I won't have the time, even if I do have 
the energy. (I did 55 strong, hilly miles this morning on my GTO, so 
maybe there's hope yet.)

My son went on a biking trip on Martha's Vineyard when he was 12 . . . 
and promptly got lost for most of a full day. But he reported that he 
loved it anyway.

Regards,

Jules

Hi all,

I intend to ride as a front-line marshal once again. I missed it last 
year because I suffered a mild heart attack. The weather was crappy 
anyway, so I don't feel so bad.

The bummer is that they're not having the pre-ride for marshals this 
year -- city budget problems are the apparent culprit. As you 
probably know, we'd ride the whole 42+ miles the Sunday before, and 
this took place every year that I was a marshal. In fact, some people 
would ride the pre-ride and not bother to show up the subsequent 
Sunday. The pre-rides were almost the best part of doing the ride.

I'm rather glad that I had suffered the heart attack when I did, last 
April 16. If my coronary event had waited to occur and if I HAD gone 
on the pre-ride on April 26, which was an unseasonably warm (hot?) 
Sunday, then I fear what might have happened chugging up that first 
Central Park hill or the 59th St Bridge or the VZ.

I'm fine now, but with the crappy weather we've been having, I 
haven't been out all that much and find it a bit difficult getting my 
biker's legs back this year. In fact, I bonked leaving Long Beach 
going north, facing a very stiff head wind the first ride of the season.

Anyway, I hope to see yuz all on May 2.

-Lloyd

 I plan to be on the Ride to Montauk so if you do it let me know!

After the 145 miles you get to go relax when you get to montauk. The next day is spent mostly on Block is at the beach or exploring the island, later in the afternoon off to newport. you really get the day off.On the third day its a 40 mile ride I think with only one hill! The idea is once you get to montauk you're really already there!

Also if you are on the Montauk ride you get to have your bags trucked out! 

I borrowed a gto 2 years ago and brought it to MV. It was so great to have a trike,I always had a beach chair with me! If you go to the martha's page there's a photo with my son in the trailer and my wife on her Toureasy!

Hope to see you on the ride!
Shelly

 Hi Lloyd,
Sorry to hear about the attack! I remember how strong and fast you are on that vision!
Take it slow you'll get your legs back! I remember way back I stopped riding for a year or two.I lived in Rockland at the time. On my first get back in shape ride I bonked also on the first hill! I remember getting faint and things going dark!
There I was sitting on the side of the road in dis-belief ! 

Well of course I swore that will never happen again,that one of the reasons I won't get off my bike no matter what!

Stay well
Shelly

I'm not sure of the rate for civilians. My DW gets a corporate rate for both of us. My old gym was almost twice that, even with a corporate discount

      I like being up front because the majority of the people 
        up there are not first-timers--they can handle a bike and steering in a 
        crowd. In the back, people are packed too close together and one person 
        making a minor adjustment can put a bunch of people on the street. 
        

Last year I was one of the first 200 finishers, even with the 
        rain.

          ? 
          Sounds interesting! Is the object to keep 
          up a good speed to not get overtaken by the crowd (and not be in the 
          way of the fast riders), or just to go whatever speed you wish but 
          avoid some of the slowdowns?

I bought my wheels to 'get out of gym', but this winter's snows put a real crimp in that--was able to pedal outdoors pretty much year-round last winter.

        I'm not sure of the rate for civilians. My DW gets a corporate rate for both of us. My old gym was almost twice that, even with a corporate discount

                  I like being up front because the majority of the people up there are not first-timers--they can handle a bike and steering in a crowd. In the back, people are packed too close together and one person making a minor adjustment can put a bunch of people on the street. 

                  Last year I was one of the first 200 finishers, even with the rain.

                    ? 
                    Sounds interesting! Is the object to keep up a good speed to not get overtaken by the crowd (and not be in the way of the fast riders), or just to go whatever speed you wish but avoid some of the slowdowns?

                            I will be there--finally getting back from my fabulous tib-fib injury. Will be there on the V Rex. I will be up front in a group from NY Sports Club (if you're a member, you can ride in the first group for an extra $10 including lunch).

Hi Dick,
The job's been going well, but my contract is coming to an end. I don't 
know if they'll keep me on, so I might be looking again. Sorry for the 
poor quality of the picture, but the MARS list has a 100K message limit, 
& I had to decrease the size of the picture to get it to go thru. I'm 
glad your knee's better- hope to see you on some rides this year.

Rich
Do you have a picture of the bike posted anywhere on the web?
Or could you send one to me via email?
I'd like to get a better look at the bike as it looks interesting.

I am am member of NYSC and have done their ride before.  This year me and my Catrike got a front line pass.  I called the 5 BBC people and told them about my bike and then asked if the MARS frontline policy was still in place.  It wasn't but they worked out a way to get me up front anyway.Riding in the back is ok but I agree tthat there are too many people.  If you're low to the ground it just feels more dangerous.See everyone there.-Adam Payne Catrike "Road" 2004

As you probably know,we'd ride the whole 42+ miles the Sunday before, and this took placeevery year that I was a marshal. In fact, some people would ride thepre-ride and not bother to show up the subsequent Sunday. The pre-rideswere almost the best part of doing the ride.

Subject: [Bent] 5 boro ride.
Message-ID: <bb2dd.532aefb.38e31469@aol.com>

I rode in the 5 Boro last year on my V-Rex after not having ridden it in a  
about 10 years and it was a lot of fun.  What I did was park on Staten  
Island, and take the ferry across.  I was meeting friends up at 18th  street, 
so I rode up the Greenway on the west side and jumped in from  there.  We 
must have been somewhere in the middle because we never came to  a bottleneck 
as we usually do just before Central Park, and the ride was really  fun.  I 
plan on doing the same thing this year on my TRICE QNT!  
 
The other thing is I was surprised how many people were "kicked off" the  
ride once we got to the 59th St Bridge, if you didn't have a bib you weren't  
allowed to cross, as it was at all the bridge crossings, there were people 
from  DHS, that was a big change.  It's a far cry for the 80's when everyone 
 would just go and do the ride without even registering.
 
Hope I see you guys there, if you want to meet up let me know.

I  am am member of NYSC and have done their ride before.  This year me and  
my Catrike got a front line pass.  I called the 5 BBC people and told  them 
about my bike and then asked if the MARS frontline policy was still in  
place.  It wasn't but they worked out a way to get me up front anyway.  
Riding in the back is ok but I agree tthat there are too many people.  If 
you're low to the ground it just feels more dangerous.
See everyone there.

Will be there on the V Rex. I will be up front in a  group from NY Sports 
Club (if you're a member, you can ride in the first group  for an extra $10 
including lunch).

I will hopefully be riding the 5 boro this year also. I say hopefully as I was signed up last year but chickened out cause it rained. The year before was the first time I had ever ridden the event on a recumbent. It was a blast and I really enjoyed talking to people about my bent. I started ridng the 5 boro on and off starting from the second year they ran it. I think it was the early 70's. That year I sent The American Youth Hostels a check for ONE DOLLAR. As Shoookie has said parking in Staten Island is your best bet. So when the rides over you just jump in your car and head home. The security goons have been out there since 911. I have seen them physically escort people off the course who were not registered. Shoookie I meet you on the Heritage Tail last year. If you like we could meet somewhere for the 5 boro. I will be riding the trail after work Thursday or Friday to try and get in some miles. Email me. I will be riding my latest project a mbb lowracer.   Don

  I rode in the 5 Boro last year on my V-Rex after not having ridden it in a about 10 years and it was a lot of fun.  What I did was park on Staten Island, and take the ferry across.  I was meeting friends up at 18th street, so I rode up the Greenway on the west side and jumped in from there.  We must have been somewhere in the middle because we never came to a bottleneck as we usually do just before Central Park, and the ride was really fun.  I plan on doing the same thing this year on my TRICE QNT!  

  The other thing is I was surprised how many people were "kicked off" the ride once we got to the 59th St Bridge, if you didn't have a bib you weren't allowed to cross, as it was at all the bridge crossings, there were people from DHS, that was a big change.  It's a far cry for the 80's when everyone would just go and do the ride without even registering.

  Hope I see you guys there, if you want to meet up let me know.

    I am am member of NYSC and have done their ride before.  This year me and my Catrike got a front line pass.  I called the 5 BBC people and told them about my bike and then asked if the MARS frontline policy was still in place.  It wasn't but they worked out a way to get me up front anyway. 
    Riding in the back is ok but I agree tthat there are too many people.  If you're low to the ground it just feels more dangerous.
    See everyone there.
