Though this story's from Sydney, it's all too familiar... At first glance I was thinking the newspaper was giving real credence to the horror and degree of seriousness of the attack. Till I came to the end: "... no one was seriously injured...". What'll it take? I guess "serious" is in the eye (flesh) of the assaulted.

I got up to do my 5:30am Wake Up Ride this morning and was very excited to see SUNLIGHT! For the first time the ride didn't start in the dark. It was also reasonably warm (in the 50's). But it just kept getting better. Tons of wildlife out at Rockland Lake this morning, including flocks of turkey, duck, and plenty of deer and rabbits. AND I actually saw EIGHT other bikers at the Lake this morning.

A nice spin around rockland like tonight as Cheryl-with-a-C and I started out and were joined after a lap by Daniel and, oh man. Now I've forgotten your name, and I even had you spell it. Argh!!!
The price was right, the mileage was great. Lloyd and I set out promptly at 4:00 headed for Suffern, down 202. We passed John R.'s house, but didn't stop since his truck wasn't there; continued thru Viola, New Hempstead, Wesley Hills and on to Pomona, Thiells and back to Letchworth.

WHat a turnout! We had 11 - yes ELEVEN folks turn out to ride in Havestraw! Reeter, myself, David and Abbs, Geenie, Amy, Cheryl, Daniel B., John R., Steve? (forgetting name), and Lloyd! We moseyed (spelling?) along the Hudson River and into out of the marinas and parks and chit-chatted and the like. Everyone was wonderful and David took some great shots...please post link in this for the pics David!...
