I'm filling in for Bobby. There will be little change in the ride as he has led it in the past, so I copied his description with some minor changes.

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. DON'T WORRY we will still have VERY Good Stuff after the Ride.  Not sure what good stuff; it's always a surprise.

Any cancellations will be posted by 7:30am. If you have any questions call or text my cell, 631-804-0751. (Bernie's Cell)

RIDE STARTS AT 9 AM!

Tom is still in Europe, so I am posting this C paced ride for his regulars (and anyone else who wishes to come along). The ride will be approximately 20 miles, at an average between 11.0 and 11.5. We will ride around Ronkonkoma, through Holbrook, and down to Sayville before returning to the start. The exact route may be determined by the wind, etc.

Our break will be at The Gourmet Bagel Shop, where food, beverages, and a bathroom are available. Newbies always welcome and nobody gets left behind. Remember to bring a beverage so you can keep hydrated.
