Ride out to Coney Island






A "quick" ride out to Coney Island Beach. The quotes around the word quick are because the 20 minute ride took well over an hour. Got to love NYC traffic. In this case, the traffic was due to people slowing down (or rather in the case of several motorists, failing to slow down and rear-ending the car in front of them) to look at the surf crashing over the break wall near the highway.

The photo, which is not of CI, is from a road side stop off of the Belt Parkway over looking Gravesend Bay.Very pretty, worth the stop, and not just because of hand cramps up from riding the clutch. Unfortunately my photo doesn't seem to have captured the spray ... use your imagination, crashing waves, gusting winds, then yell "Pepe! get away from that salt water!"
