We had a great ride! It started off, slow. Two riders missed the ferry to Martha’s Vineyard. To be true to our word we waited for them at Oak Bluffs. We ride, together. This is touring ride, anyways.
We rolled from Oak Bluffs towards the interior of the island. We made a pass over the northern part of the Forest surrounding the island’s major airport. From there we made some zig-zags to head towards South Road. We went over some nicely laid pavement.
The wind started to collect its forces against us. There was a strong
headwind as rolled through Chilmark on the way to Aquinnah. Combined with the high humidity it made a challenge. We took a tour of Lobsterville but we did not take the bikeferry to Memensha. We headed for Gayhead lighthouse.
We stopped at the restaurant overlooking the bluffs to regroup and eat som
e hamburgers. Afterall, it was national hamburger day! We had a great tailwind on the return towards Chilmark. Those miles ticked furiouslypast. We went up Middle Road, which featured smooth pavement and a tailwind.
After the ride we stopped in Vineyard Haven for some ice cream at Murdicks.
