Paceline to Manorville.Changes posted by 6 a.m.

      ****LATER START****

This is my Rinx ride to Holtsville but starting at the Deli alittle past the park entrance. We will ride to the Holtsville Ecology Center take a quick break and head on back. Posting a B/B+ due to the stops at the lights, and the crossing of some intersections. It could come in at a B or B/B+ depending on who shows up.

Group will warm up and ride together to old Grumman facility. Paceline around facility for 4 or 5 laps. Faster riders go ahead and and lap us again. Slower riders don't need to pull or can go at lower speed and we will get you on the next lap. Can stop at any time to rest and catch us on the next lap.Easy way to try a faster pace and those paceline skills Ron taught you without the commitment of a full ride. After laps will regroup and ride back/ cool down together back to King Kullen. There is nowhere to get more water or snacks so bring what you need.

Come out and join me for a ride from Bellport to the Beach. We will make a stop at the 7-11 on William Floyd Pkwy. for a snack if you want to bring one to our break at the beach. This is a C+ ride, which will average 12.3 - 12.8, depending on the wind and the riders. There will be cue sheets and no one gets left behind.

A mostly flat, easy-going ride through St. James.  Coffee break in St. James about half-way.  Be sure to have your water bottle, helmet and spare tube.  Also be sure to have properly inflated tires.  (Proper pressure is listed on the side of your tire.)  You can't roll easy on flabby tires!

I can be reached at this post via email or, day of ride, you can call my cell:  631-835-1454.

Find some relief and unwind from a hectic week by jumping onto this nice and easy ride from Belmont Lake State Park to the Town of Babylon Docks.  Since there may be some slight variations once we get into the town, there's a possibility the mileage may go up by a mile or two.  We may stop at the deli if it's open, if not, then we'll head over to the ice shop for some shaved ice or ice cream.  Be sure to bring water, helmet and spare tubes.  Insect Repellent is optional but encouraged since it gets "buggy" on the trail, I always have it with me so feel free to ask to use it in case you don't have it.

Any changes/cancellations for this ride will be no later than 3:00PM the day of the ride.

the normal Friday route, just a little later and one mile less. Speed will be about 14-16.5mph depending on who shows up. There is a quick stop at 7-11 for a snack or drink. No one left behind.
