This will be a C+/B- ride, which will average 13.2 - 13.9, partly depending on the winds, the riders, etc. Since the exact route will be determined at the start, so there willnot be a cue sheet for this ride. We will ride part of Dune Road (direction determined by the winds that day) and then take our break in Westhampton at the Beach Bakery, where bathrooms and food are available.

This is a scenic ride, it does have some uphill bits but we will always wait up. There are also some sections where faster riders can go ahead but this is not a race. Our average will be in the mid B- range - much slower going up the hills and faster going down.
There are no bathrooms at the beginning of the ride, we can stop at Dunkin donuts (mile 8) if absolutely necessary. The first bathroom is at West Meadow Beach (mile 22). Bring your own snacks and drink - our stop is at the lighthouse.
I appreciate knowing who is coming - text me 631 331 5642 email susan.m.sears@gmail.com. It is also fine to just turn up.
This is a scenic ride along Peconic Bay, also passing farms, and vineyards as we travel further east. We will also have one stop on the Long Island Sound. Food/restroom stops at Scoops and Grinds in Cutchogue, and a final snack stop at the Magic Fountain in Mattituck. Porta-potties along the way,and sometimes real restrooms at the Veterans Park in New Suffolk when the restrooms are open, porta-potties if the restrooms are closed. If you wish to join this ride, text Bill Gravitz, 631-356-3036, with your full name and date of ride. Check the ride calendar the day of the ride for changes, which would be posted by 07:00am.
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.
IPlease 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...
