<DIV>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!
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hope I see you guys there, if you want to meet up let me know.</DIV>

all,<BR>> <BR>> I intend to ride as a front-line marshal once again. I
missed it lastyear because I suffered a mild heart attack. The weather was
crappyanyway, so I don't feel so bad.<BR>> <BR>> 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 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.<BR>> <BR>> I'm rather glad that I had suffered the heart attack
when I did, lastApril 16. If my coronary event had waited to occur and if I
HAD gone onthe pre-ride on April 26, which was an unseasonably warm (hot?)
Sunday,then I fear what might have happened chugging up that first Central
Parkhill or the 59th St Bridge or the VZ. <BR>> <BR>> I'm fine now, but
with the crappy weather we've been having, I haven'tbeen out all that much and
find it a bit difficult getting my biker'slegs back this year. In fact, I
bonked leaving Long Beach going north,facing a very stiff head wind the first
ride of the season.<BR>> <BR>> Anyway, I hope to see yuz all on May
2.<BR>> <BR>> -Lloyd<BR>> <BR>>
