No more room, ride full! Start at Maples - no bathrooms so come prepared. Ride down into Moriches and then Eastport. Speonk station (mile 17), has a little cafe, they are very friendly and make nice coffee (free refill - so might want to bring a flask!), there is a menu but not much in the way of baked goods so bring your snack if case nothing appeals. https://www.littlegullcafe.com/menu

Park in the lot across from Kreb. Slow ride to the Marina. Stop at 7-11 for snacks if you wish. Bathrooms at Wertheim and should be a porta potty at the Marina.

Meet at the South St. School, for a ride that will take us through Wading River and then down Route 24 to Riverhead. Afrer a short stop at the Riverhead McDonald's, we'll paceline back up Route 24 to Grumman Boulevard and then back home.
The course will be flat to lightly rolling, so it should be a fun time for riding in a paceline. The winds will be light, so it should be a good time to ride.
Tough call! and if you don't show I understand; I plan to be there and out of the woods by 11 ...
This ride will be a repeat of last year's Beginner Mtn Bike ride but may extend dependant upon who shows. We'll start with the short double loop on the west side of Belle Meade and then cross to the easy stuff on the Intermediate trail. No ONE GETS DROPPED in the WOODS!

At mile 24 we stop at Wertheim again, that return to Bellport. If anyone wants to pick up snacks on the way, there is a 7-11 just before Smithpoint County Park.

COLD Again! The forecast temps are low 20s and on the road it will feel like 10 ;-( ... Come into the woods!
Unless a faster Ride Leader posts the same ride, I'll be the Ride Organizer and not the lead rider for most of the ride. You can hang with me as I'm slower than lots of faster riders.
SBRA insurance requires that Mtn Bike riders MUST sign a Ride Sign In sheet for each Mtn Bike ride. Please text [631-988-6557]/email me at [nsamuels@ optonline.net] include your name, SBRA #, EMERGENCY # and your cell #. I will fill out the Ride Sign In sheet and you will only have to sign it.

Calender conflict - had to move ride to later on in the day, aslo changed route to get away from afternoon traffic.
The sign for the library is small! Park in the far left corner of the car park. Most of this ride is scenic, enjoy the views! As a consequence there are some hills on this ride, nothing too bad, we will take it gently, with wait ups as needed, because of this we will probably come in at a low B- or even a C+/B-. No destination as such so bring your own snacks and drinks - we'll have picnics along the way.
I appreciate knowing that someone will be with me so please text 631 331 5642 just to let me know you are coming on the ride.

A ride out to Orient Beach State Park from the Riverhead waterfront parking area. A longer ride to get in some endurance miles to prepare for upcoming Fondos. Keep in mind that this ride typically has a tailwind going out but has the potential of a wearing headwind on the return. We will stop at the 7-11 just before Greenport but make sure to bring something to eat and 2 water bottles as the park will not have any food outlets open this time of year. After the ride Riverhead has plenty of places for lunch (or a beer) if anyone is interested. Hope to see you there!
