Ride a variety of flat and rolling roads to and from Oyster Bay

Deli stop in Oyster Bay.

No go in rain/snow/wetroads/highwinds

All Thunderbirds and aliens, the Alien Ride lives: come to the South Street School and prepare to launch a ride into the infamous Area 51 and the Alien Highway!  It's been awhile since we've braved the legendary hill and the winds of Area 51, so let's get out on the road and see what adventures await.

We'll do the short course this time, with the new ride start of the South Street School.  On the short course, we'll turn off County Road 51 at the second traffic light, and follow Head of the Neck and Clancy to reach Chapman and the finish on South Street.

We will have wait-ups  at the top of Moriches-Middle Island Road, at the gas station after Mill Road and after the top of the hill on CR-51 at Speonk-Riverhead Road.  Everyone who wants to be on this ride will stop at these points, so that we can all regroup and continue riding as a group. Let's take it easy on each other, as some of us are still recovering from time off the bike.

Hopefully the Men-in-Black (MIB) (and Frank the alien Pug), will be out on the ride, keeping the aliens in line and the ride at a even pace!
