on the Bike Path ;-) ... This ride will hopefully give you a taste of riding a bike path ... unfortunately we'll only do the 6+ miles on the path but there are "NO CAR BACKs!!" ... there are some road crossings and even a few hills on the Bike Path from Stony Brook to Port Jeff Station. The rest of the miles will be mostly flat in Coram, Mt. Sinai and Miller Place. This ride will be a moderate B to fast B ride ... NO ONE GETS LEFT BEHIND. Starting time of 8:30 AM to try to beat some of the heat. CHECK BACK FOR CHANGES TO THIS POSTING AFTER 7 AM ON DAY OF RIDE ... Weather may be a factor!

LIE exit 70, go South about 1/2 mile to King Kullen/McDonalds lot, park near the McDonalds side. Easy ride with no major hills. Average speed will be about 13.5 mph, depending upon wind, heat and rider ability. Wildwood State park has rest rooms, a nice picnic area, but no food. We will stop at the deli just before the park for snacks/coffee. Check web site by 07:15am for any changes. For information call Bill Gravitz at 631-356-3036.

Ride out to the McD's in Center Moriches. Food/rest stop around mile 13. Pace will be on the high end of the B- range ( 14.0 - 14.9 ). Cancellation for any reason will be posted no later than 7:30AM.

I tend to be long winded so click "read more" on the bottom for the entire post. - This is the ride that was rained out on Saturday, so we'll go to Ridge today. It's a nice route with some improved roads, and of course, some with pot holes, but what else is new.

The average pace for the ride will be between 14.8 and 15mph. Depending on wind conditions, and other factors such as humidity and squirrels. The road speed on this ride will be between 15 and 17 mph. For additional clarification on what a B- ride is http://www.sbraweb.org/?q=node/3 Around mile 18 or so we’ll make a pit stop; you can go to Mickey D’s or the deli.

Then there will be a few long spots where one can stretch the legs if desired, working off any extra calories collected at the rest stop. This is not a pace line.

My cell number is 631.484.3490; call anytime if you have questions about this ride or need directions to the start. Please check the ride calendar for any weather, or last minute cancellations which will be posted no later than 7:30AM if necessary.

Our quick Monday night ride to Bellport. Quick stop in Bellport so bring a bar to snack on if you need something on the break. Pace is around 15.5-16 mpg. with faster speeds on the flats.
