***4-30-15 Please let me know, by responding to this post, calling/texting me at 516-330-1542 or e mailing me at Triciasp "at" optonline.net to let me know if you are planning to meet me at the ride start. I will have a happy face balloon or two tied to my car so we can meet up to sign in.****
This ride is a fundraiser for Camp Paquatuck in Moriches-a camp for children with special needs. Register for the ride at www.inletride.com. Look at the bottom of the page on that website to register without setting up a fundraiser page (which is not required). Minimum registration amount is $25 but you can give more if you want. The ride is supported and goes from one end of Dune Road to the other (hope they pave it before the ride!). We will try to stay as a group though I listed it as unstructured as I don't know how crowded the road will be. Pace will be determined by who wants to ride together. Even the directionally challenged can not get lost on this ride! Cell phone 516-330-1542. The ride starts at 8 am so I'd like us to meet 20 minutes before. The event is rain or shine but I won't ride if it's raining a lot. Check back here the day before the ride and I will let you know where to find me in the parking lot.
Meet at the overflow lot south of the train station. There will be multiple food/rest stops on this ride ( TBD by the needs of the group ). The turnaround point will be at the Beach Bakery in Westhampton Beach. Pace should be on the lower end of the B- range ( 14.0 - 14.5 ). Cancellation for any reason will be posted no later than 6:30AM on Saturday.
A week until the Montauk Century. This ride follows the classic Bike Boat Bike route excepting we start at the Riverhead Waterfront Park and it avoids Scuttle hole road (which I don't like because of too much traffic on weekends). This is a very pretty route with many water views. We will ride both Shelter Island Ferries and there will be Deli stops in Greenport at mile 27 and in Noyack at mile 52. Bring money for the ferries and the Deli Stops. Pace will be in the 13's because of the hills and rollers - Max cruising about 16. This will be a taxing ride.
Mostly flat, lower mileage leading up to the Century next week. Please DO NOT jump into this group now if you have not been training with this group!!!! I have a tentative route, which might be tweaked beforehand, or possibly as we go. Same deal as in other weeks.
Please arrive 15 minutes before ride so we can leave promptly. Powell off Seaford Oyster Bay Expressway, Exit 8. Parking across the street from Bethpage library. Mostly flat ride via Greenlawn and Commack to Kings Park and San Remo. One or two hills before food stop at Park Bake Shop in Kings Park.
This is still century training but we are going to cut back the mileage a bit. We are going to stay together so if you cannot stay at the B pace the group is doing then please go on a faster or slower ride.(please do not take offense. We work much more efficient as a group.) We will stop mid point and grab lunch. Just not sure where that is yet. Check back the night before for any updates. This year, one never knows!
Dennis is busy this week so posting for everyone that wants to ride.
The route will be the 56/60 mile ride we did several weeks ago. We can decide on which mileage on Saturday.
Usual ride , usual suspects. See you there.
No Margaret so make sure you are self sufficient.
PS. If anyone wants to post/ride a longer ride I will be sorely tempted to cancel this one or change the mileage, but the majority rules......
We'll dial back the mileage a little this week but try to add a little velocity. Average around 14 depending on the wind. Lunch at the Green Door. Maybe an emergency pastry at the Beach Bakery. No Worries-Just ride.
I have to get this posted before Gary starts another search. It’s off to Manorville today if you want to join me. The average pace for the ride will be between 14.3 to 15.0 mph; perhaps a tad higher or lower depending on the roads, wind direction and other conditions. Naturally, the road speed will be higher (15 -17 mph.) to produce the average. A rest/ food stop at McDonald’s or the bagel shop is on the schedule around mile 18. There will be some leg stretches along the way for those who feel the need.

Leave the Manorville King Kullen for a fast spin out to Mattituck. We'll hit Sound Avenue, have a stop at the deli in Mattituck and return along the Peconic Bay. There will be a few sections to stretch your legs, if you are so inclined, but we will keep the group together.
We can decrease the route length from 60 miles, depending on the group and the winds. (There will be several points where we can do shortcuts).
Consider this a graduation from Century training school...good luck to everyone on the Century!

Another long post so read more on the bottom. - -Well, it’s Cinco de Mayo, and I have a great ride day planned for you. Ask your boss for the day off or treat him to lunch; I just know he/she would love to come and taste some real Mexican food. The ride will start from the Mi Territa restaurant and go to Smith's Point. The first pee break around mile 10, next one at the beach, 7-11 along the way if you want to stop, and a deli stop on the way back if you choose. We can just eat, drink and pee for the whole ride.
When the ride is officially over go to the restaurant and order some excellent Mexican food. There will be several varieties of cold drinks; Personally, I think the Sangria is to die for; between that, and the jelly donuts is the reason I ride. One tiny winy thing I might mention, it’s NOT FREE so bring some bucks or Mexican Peso’s with you; the exchange rate will be announced. For your entertainment around 5:30PM there will be a mariachi band playing for your enjoyment. So, come on, let’s have another fun filled day with your friends. Non riders are welcome also, just leave me some Sangria.
The average pace will be between 14.5 and 15.0 mph., give or take a tad. Naturally, the road speed will be slightly higher to produce the average. There will be a pee/coffee break about half way.

IN ORDER TO CONFORM TO CLUB RULES AND GUIDELINES THIS RIDE WILL NOW BE A STRUCTURED RIDE WHERE THE GROUP WILL RIDE TOGETHER. Please arrive a little early (8:30) so we can get together and ride out at 9AM.
I'm stealing the idea (of a club ride on this great charity ride) from Bobby Ploetz.
I did this ride last year from Osprey Vineyards out thru the North Fork's Orient Beach State Park and back (35 miles total). Its a charity ride and sign up is thru a link you can find above. There were bagels before the ride, snacks and sandwiches at Orient park, and food on the return to the vineyard. Osprey had entertainment, and discounts on their bottles of wine. A great time was had by all. Portapotties were set up along the route to the park. This ride is structured, but we can try to ride together at around a 11-12mph pace. I will have a ride sheet so you can get credit for the ride. Read Bobby's post for more info. (Yes, I copied this from Bill's posting)
This is a long post; please click “more” at the bottom for the entire post. Ok, boys and girls it’s time to think about the Osprey Ride. For those you did this with me last year you know we had a blast, it was nothing short of fun, fun, fun. If you missed it last year, try it this year; you won’t be disappointed!
After the ride there will be free food, live music, giveaways and wine tasting at Osprey’s Dominion as well as discounted prices on wine bottles for riders! I will have a ride sheet to sign if you want the mileage. I have posted this as unstructured since I don’t know who will show up. However, I will be doing a B- B at the average pace I usually do. Yes, you have to dig in the pocket for some money; it’s for a good cause.

I did this ride last year from Osprey Vineyards out thru the North Fork's Orient Beach State Park and back (35 miles total). Please be there by 08:00am, which will give you time to check in/register, hit the porta potties, and grab a bagel. We will park in the rear lot on the East side, look for a blue elantra with an SBRA-C+ sign in the window. This is a long post so read the "read more" part. This is a charity ride and you can sign up thru a link you can find under Bobby's posting. There will be snacks and sandwiches at Orient park, and food on the return to the vineyard. Osprey had entertainment, and discounts on their bottles of wine. A great time was had by all. Portapotties were set up along the route to the park. This ride is listed as unstructured, but we can try to ride together at around a 12-13mph pace. The route is well marked, so riders are free to set their own pace and not stay with any group, since this is an unstructured ride. I will have a ride sheet so you can get credit for the ride. Read Bobby's post for more info. You can contact me at 631-356-3036. Please be at Osprey by 08:00am. This posting is long and you may have to click on "read more" to read the rest. Let me know under Comments if you will be on this ride. If you can't locate me at Osprey, call my cell listed above. All riders will gather out front around 08:45 for a 9:00 start.
I'm stealing the idea (of a club ride on this great charity ride) from Bobby Ploetz. Registration for this ride is on-line via the link below. The link also provides information about the ride. Please attach a comment to this posting, letting me know that you have signed up for the ride. Check link below for arrival times to pick up your packets. I would like to have our group commence cycling at 9:10AM. If you are there and do not see me, my cell is 917-797-7873. http://www.active.com/peconic-ny/cycling/races/north-shore-bike-tour-2015?int=72-4-SF1 Bill Gravitz is also leading a club ride out of Osprey's Dominion that day - read his description of last year's ride.

I contacted the park office (Tel#516-571-7470), no charge for parking in the main lot until after Memorial Day Weekend, so...I'll be parking in Cedar Creek Park located at 3340 E. Merrick Road, Seaford NY. We'll ride the bike path through Jones Beach, stop at Tobay for a quick rest stop then return. Bring a snack and drinks just in case the concession stands aren't open yet.

Call me on my cell once you get to the parking lot and can't locate me or any fellow riders; we'll figure out a place to meet so that everyone can sign in.
