Structured B+ ride through Heckscher state park

****rain or wet roads will cancel ride****

**UPDATED - 7:45AM Cancelled due to wet roads and more rain coming**

How about going to Yaphank today? The average pace for the ride will be between 14.7 and 15.0 mph +/- depending on the wind direction and other factors which could put the ride in the lower part of a "B"; you know how I ride The road speed on this ride will be between 15.0 and 17 mph. There are a few places along the route where a paceline can be started for those who wish. Around mile 19 there will be a bathroom/deli stop.

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

Just noticed that this ride was not posted as the "Plus," but I have corrected that. If this ride needs to cancel due to weather it will be reposted for Wednesday The "Plus" will be a 3 mile flat loop to the beach. No optional hilly loop at this time as the basic Slow Hills has enough hills for now. Hills 101. We'll do B- on the flats and whatever we individually can on the hills. No need to keep up on hills; wait-ups as necessary. Stop halfway at the lighthouse in Old Field; bring a snack -- no bathroom there. There may be a bathroom at the beach. Cancellation or change if needed by 8AM. Cell day of ride only, please:631-835-1454

Rain forecast and wet roads necessitate cancellation.

Late start on the season.

Somewhat slower pace, B-, and an earlier start 4:00pm, but the same hills and scenery.

Mostly country roads, many water views and rolling hills.

While the average for the ride will be between 14-15mph, B-, the ride will include many hills.

Honest B ride. Dishonest riders welcome. If you like to play ditch the ride leader, take a cue sheet. I'll void the warranty on my new knees if I have to chase you down when you make a wrong turn. "GU" stops hourly, pit stop at Tulley's or deli/cafe on Shinnecock Ave.
