Join me for this ride from Yaphank to Nettie's, where there are bathrooms available, as well as tasty delights! The route will be determined the moring of the ride, so no cue sheets.
While some ride leaders post a B- ride but come in with averages of 15.5 - 16.2 (which are B or B+ ride averages), this will be a TRUE B- ride, that will average 14 - 14.8, depending on the winds, the riders, etc. So, if you are looking to do a B- ride, this ride will be what it is posted. Contact me about joining this ride - see notes below.

A scenic ride with stops to appreciate the lovely scenery.
No bathrooms at the start and no where to buy bagels, donuts, coffee - bring your own.
This ride has a few bits that might be considered as hills, we take them at our own speed and wait up. There are some stretches where faster riders can go ahead but this ride is not a race and no one will be left behind. We will probably come in at a low to mid B-.

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 ride could end end up a mile or 2 over 30.
The average pace for the ride will be between 14.9 to 15.0 mph +/- depending on the roads, wind direction, rider ability, tailwinds, downhills, break-a-ways and other conditions.All of these conditions could change the final average one way or the other. Naturally, the road speed will be higher (15 -17 mph.) to produce the average.
If you are a rider who wants to step up from a C+/B- I would suggest that you – 1. Have been able to ride with at least a 14 average. Remember, my rides come in at 15 +/-. Look up my ride averages. You will be doing roads speeds between 15-17 mph. 2. Most important ask your C+/B- ride leader if he/she thinks this move up is for you. Naturally, if you have a problem I will help you along the way.
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.
Any cancellation due to weather or any other circumstance will be posted no later than 0715 if necessary. If you have question about the ride just text me at 631.484.3490. Eventually my phone and I will meet in a reasonable amount of time...
