Day 1: Midtown to Coney Island (& Back)

Total Miles Driven - 38 miles

Today’s Miles - 38

Saturday, May 21st

Today was the “unofficial” start of slow riding across America on a Vespa. From the first time I imagined the trip, I envisioned it beginning at iconic Coney Island in Brooklyn, NY. So, I got an early start and the bonus is I was able to test and get accustomed to by new 13” wheels and tires.

I was expecting a small crowd, but I rolled up on the finish line of the Brooklyn Half Marathon and saw tons of people. It was fun watching friends and family celebrate their loved one's successful completion of the race.

I officially start on Thursday, May 26th.
