Update – 4/21 – 8:30am. Wow, did I get this wrong. I’m going to delay this another 15 minutes, and that’s it... No more changes. Sorry for the inconvenience! See you soon. HAPPY EASTER, HAPPY PASSOVER TO ALL…Bobby
Update – 4/21 – 7:35am. Well, I guess the Easter bunny wants me to change the start time...It looks like this mess will be over in an hour. So, I am going to DELAY the start to 10am; giving the roads a chance to dry. If there are any other changes I will post by 8:30am. However, I think the ride will go! Any questions, text me 631.484.3490, nice things only.
Today's’ route to Great River will change up a bit towards the end of the ride, if the wind is in our favor; making this route pretty flat except for 2 overpasses. We will go the usual route heading south using the Connetquot Park bike bath. We’ll work our way down to Heckscher Park, do a loop where one can stretch the legs a bit if desired. The average pace for this ride will be between 14.5 & 15.0 +/- mph, or what conditions allow. The road speed will be between 15 and 16.5 mph, or slower if needed for safety concerns.
We’ll be making a rest stop around mile 19 at the deli/bakery. The route back will be determined by the wind direction. Good Stuff after the Ride. Not sure what good stuff; it's always a surprise.
Any cancellations due to unforeseeable circumstances, or weather related problems will be posted by 8:00am. If you have any questions about this ride, or the start location, please call or text my cell, 631-484-3490.
*** It appears that the rain will linger around until about 10:00 AM, so I am delaying the ride start until 10:15 AM. ***
Since the delay could cut into peoples' holiday, i've flattened the course out and decreased the distance to about *** 39 miles *** , so we'll get back a little faster. But, the Easter Bunny said we should have a treat, so besides Briermere, we'll visit Area 51!
Thunderbirds, this time we'll take a ride out to Briermere Farms, before heading south to find Pleasure Drive and the airport climb. Then we'll wave at the giant swordsmen, as we travel towards home.
Since it's a holiday and the Easter Bunny may have a tight schedule, we can shorten the route if the group needs to get back early to catch the bunny.
Need to get back for Easter Dinner? Take this approx. 1hr C ride from Ronkonkoma RR station. Newbies alwasy welcome and well taken care of and nobody gets left behind. Any cancellation by 8:30am. Ride pace will be 10.6-11.6mph.
Come on, burn off some calories before you pig out!
Join me for this mid-morning ride, which will still give you enough time to get home for a holiday meal!
This will be a C+ ride from Sayville to either Bellport or Ronkonkoma - direction will depend on the prevailing winds, etc. There will be a break & bathroom stop wherever we go.
This is a structured ride which will average 12.1 - 12.7.
NOTE: Park on the South Side of the train station.
Check in for any changes due to the weather. If the roads are wet or a mess from Saturdays rain I will cancel. Heading east then south to Woodlot, Longwood Rd., Yaphank, looping through River Rd. Gerard & back. Park on side lot by TJ Max (Shoprite no longer Pathmark) MY cell 631 9220632.
