This will be a structured B+ ride where group rides together. This ride we do a loop through Heckscher State park and break in the park so bring snacks with you. If you are looking for a fast B+ ride or ride off the front of the group this ride is not for you.

We're off to Shoreham with a rest/snack stop at the Bagel Cafe (aka the Bagel Lady). We'll go by way of newly paved East Bartlett Rd.(no more pot holes!). Rider will maintain a 13-14 mph level ground cruising speed. No one will be dropped.

I thought we would go to Middle Island again this week. The average pace for the ride will be between 14.7 and 15.0 mph +/- depending on the roads, wind direction and other conditions which could put the ride in the lower part of a "B". The road speed will be between 15 and 17 mph. Around mile 12 we’re going to stop at the senior citizen discount bagel shop. There are a few places along the route where leg stretches can be done for those who wish. Please check the ride calendar for any weather, or last minute cancellations which will be posted no later than 7:30AM, if necessary. My cell number is 631.484.3490; call anytime if you have questions about this ride or need directions to the start.

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 is a bathroom at the beach. Cancellation or change if needed by 8AM. Cell day of ride only, please:631-835-1454
