I have made a little change to where we are going. Bobby and his wife Christine are going on a cross country trip and I want to do a companion ride so we meet up with his ride at points along the route and after the ride so we can tail gate and wish him and Christine farewell. I am posting it as a B since there are parts of the ride that need to slow down and we will do a couple of loops at Hecksher. We will stop at Bobbys favorite Bagel shop and then head back so we can meet them after the ride. Feel free to bring something to snack on or drink since this is a very social bunch!
Easy B/B+ to Moriches from Holbrook Country Club..check for any changes the morning of the ride.
We will be leaving Bank of American in East Islip heading to Great River and East Islip area. Then we will head to Bohemia and stopping at McDonalds around mile 23 for our break. Any questions call Mike at 516 448-8545
Please Note: This is a B ride with an average speed of 15.5 -16 mph, road speeds may reach 17-20mph. Check the ride calender for any changes posted by 7:00am day of ride.
We'll leave out of Old Veteran's Memorial Park and head towards Handy Pantry in Shirley for a quick water break (mile 16). Sprint down William Floyd to Victory. Regroup in the parking lot on the corner of Victory and William Floyd. We'll make a quick right onto River Road and make a right onto Flower Hill Dr over William Floyd.
Later we'll turn right off of Chapman Blvd onto Hot Water St and make a left onto Halsey Manor.
Cruising speeds outside of winds and hills will be between 18-21mph.
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 17.0 mph, or slower if needed for safety concerns.
Please DO NOT PARK in the Meat Farms parking lot. Use the west side of the bank if the east side is full. Thanks!
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 7:30am. If you have any questions about this ride, or the start location, please call or text my cell, 631-484-3490.
Let's avoid most holiday traffic by doing loops on the Grumman trail, and loops North and South of the trail. Break at Bean and Bagel. Porta-Potties available where we park.
