The Thunderbirds will take a faster run out to Briermere Farms, this time.  We'll take the northern route up to Sound Avenue, then some rolling terrain through the farms out east. We'll ride through the farms on the return, eventually hitting Grumman Blvd.

Plan on some long paceline runs, with a few regroups along the way. Also, plan on some fast sections, where we'll Slam the Hammer Down: https://youtu.be/UpP0IujifC4

Just remember to allow others to catch-up at the regroup points!!!

Allons-y!

Lots of side roads and pretty views. Stop at Beach Bakery around mile 17. Always check back for updated information or cancellation.

It's off to Manorville. The average pace for the ride will be between 14.6 to 15.0 mph +/- depending on the roads, wind direction, rider ability or other conditions. Naturally, the road speed will be higher (15 -16.5 mph.) to produce the average. A rest/ food stop at McDonald’s or the bagel shop is on the schedule around mile 16. There are a few places along the route where leg stretches can be done for those who wish to do so. There is no obligation for anyone to do this; you can hang back with me. 

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 or text me anytime if you have questions about the ride. 

The pace for this ride will be set by the group. Figure mid to upper  C+B-. I haven't rode in awhile so I can't do to much. We will have a short break for food or snacks in Bellport. 

Riding on road and on Calverton Memorial Trai for Bagels and Coffee.

Park in lot south of RR station.  No lunch stop.  Ralph's after ride.
