Ride to stop at park in East Quogue

Then a northern section that takes us a little west of the shop and then back to Eastport.

By popular demand, we are going to keep the pace down on this ride, so stronger B riders are welcome!  Some of us have been riding hard for several days, so this will be an easy endurance, Zone 1 kind of ride.   Expect a ride average on the lower end of the B/B+ range, unless we have a tailwind return!  Who knows, we may even come in at a high B, the point is to get in a longer ride, before the cold weather that is coming.  Plan accordingly for a long ride- bring two water bottles and  don't come to the ride expecting us to push the pace, so you can get to an afternoon appointment!    As one of the wiser Early Birds once put it, "Not every ride has to be a training ride."

Let's keep Indian Summer Alive and enjoy the weather: https://youtu.be/CmQ3HuBOFcI

Friday is predicted to have some milder temperatures, so why don't we take advantage of the weather and take a ride out to Cutchogue. The start is at the lot across from the Maples Bar. We'll have a stop at the deli in Cutchogue at 26 miles and then head to Bridge Lane and Oregon Road, before we start our trip home.  Along the ride we'll pass Peconic Bay in both directions, and pass through the East End farms at the eastern part of our ride. The return loop takes us through Riverhead and around the Peconic Lake.

This will be a strictly controlled B/B+ paceline ride, so we can enjoy the ride without killing each other!  Control yourself when you get to the front of the paceline; you shouldn't increase the speed unless we're going downhill or downwind! 

So let's get some miles in, before winter comes!

Allons-y!

Let's go!

easy ride to manorville ....w/ a dd break

This will be an easy C+ ride around Center Moriches, that will average 12 - 12.6, and will be taking our break at Nettie's. There are some very nice water views along the way. No one gets dropped and we will be observing spacing rules, etc. Since the exact route will be determined as we go along, there will not be a cue sheet.

The number of riders is limited, so if you want to ride you must text me (631-523-2129) with your SBRA Member Number and Emergency Contact phone number. I will respond to your text and let you know if you have a spot on the ride. Once the ride is filled, I will change to post to indicate that.   

Riders should arrive at least 15 minutes before the ride start, to allow enough time for me to get everyone signed in and to "get yourself" ready.
