We will be leaving Bank of America and head to Great River and East Islip for a 21 mile ride.  The ride will be at a B- pace with an average speed of around 14.5 to 15 mph and road speeds that will reach 16 to 18 mph.

Changes or cancelation will be posted by 7:30am.

This ride will be a high C+ to a Low B- (13.0-14.0) and the short version of the ride. We will make a right out of the park instead of the left. Take a break at the bagel shop and then head back. Road speed from 13.5 to 15.0. Wind at your back, faster. Into the wind, slower. 

Any changes or cancellation will be posted by 0745 the morning of the ride. Any questions text me at 631.484.3490.

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 15- 16 mph and come in at an average 14 and 14.9. Its still cold out there and alot of riders have not been riding. Pulls are always appreciated. 

This will be a paceline ride out to Westhampton Beach through flat to rolling terrain.  We'll pick up some of the classic Montauk RxR Century course, to get people familiar with the course.So, we'll be heading through Eastport and Remsenberg on our way East. The pace is going to be controlled, so no one gets dropped; this is early in the season!

We'll have a stop at either Goldberg's or the Beach Bakery in Westhampton Beach at around 18.5 miles. To keep from getting too cold, we'll try to keep the stop at a reasonable amount of time.

The return loop will take us back along Old Country Road and eventually to Manorville. Then it's back to William Floyd Parkway and the finish!

So bring two water bottles and some food to eat along the way, as we start to prepare for the cycling season.

Allons-y!

This 18-24 mile ride will now be on the SOUTH SIDE of the Ronk train station near the Western end of the parking lot closest to Railroad Ave. Bring a snack and hydration. Route depends on riders ability, wind, position of moon and ride leaders disposition. As always newbies always well taken care of and no one gets dropped. Wheels down at posted time as "Daylights A Burnin" so get there 15 minutes before. Any cancellation will be by 8:00am. No need to text me, just "show n go".

Coming from LIE take Ronkonkoma Ave. South, just over RR bridge make 3 right turns, parking is on right, corner of Railroad AVe and Ronkonkoma Ave.

Coming from Lakeland Ave. Sunrise Hwy., go North just pass Vets Hwy make right on Smithtown Ave (following alongside of airport), just before bridge make right on Railroad Ave, parking is on left side (go past one way entrance and make 1st available left into lot).

This will be a mid C+/B- ride.  Certainly not a race!  It looks as if the weather will be OK with not too much wind.  We will stop at Netties for a break.

I appreciate knowing if anyone is joining me.  Please let me know, text 631 331 5642
