MVH in effect. Need to be to work so 8AM start. Look at it this way......................... we"ll be up before the ticks.......and out before the rain.

MVH Bike trail.

UPDATE:   RIDE IS A GO!

The weather looks good through around 1:00 PM or so!. So it looks good for completing the full distance!

Some of us will be riding with tired legs, so the average will be at the lower end of the B+ range or perhaps even down into the B/B+ zone if it gets very windy!-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It looks like this will be a mild day for December! So join the Thunderbirds for a rockin' down the highway https://youtu.be/kTZbSNOptd0 paceline ride !

We will leave from the lot across from The Maples, and we'll use the north route to reach Dune Road - which is practically deserted! Along the way, we'll paceline along County Road (CR) 24 and 104; do the climb up CR 31 past the airport and hit Dune Road. On Dune Road, you're free to ride at your own pace, but save some legs for the return! 

After a short stop at Cupsogue Beach at the end oif Dune Road, we'll start our return with an optional stop at the Beach Bakery. Then it's Old Country Road, Head of the Neck, Chapman, South St. and the finishing run up Silas Carter/ Ryerson.

Allons-y!

Today's’ route to Great River will change up a bit towards the end of the ride - if the wind is in our favor; making this route pretty flat except for 2 overpasses. We will go the usual route heading south using the Connetquot Park bike bath. We’ll work our way down to Heckscher Park .I would like to keep the road speed  between 16 - 17.5 mph and come in at an average Hi 15 and Lo 16. 

DENNIS JUST CALLED AND SAID ITS RAINING IN BELLPORT SO RIDE IS CANCELED!

This C+ ride of 18-25 miles will average 11.5-12.5mph. Bring snack/hydration as route depends on wind, tide, position of moon and ride leaders disposition. Newbies welcome and well taken care of and nobody gets left behind. Any cancellation will be by 8:30am. No need to text, email, phone, send message by carrier pidgeon or smoke signal me.
