**TIME CHANGE - Chris Coming From Work, Need Our Sweep**

Following Ron....I tend to be long winded, so click "read more" on the bottom for the entire post. This is going to be a great ride. We’ll start out from the parking lot weaving our way through Patchogue on the way to Smith Point. We will be following the fast, faster, and fastest groups until they are small specs in the distance. There will be a pee break on the way to the beach as well as a stop at 7-11 around mile 14 for stuff to take to the beach if you are so inclined. All this will be accomplished with and average pace between 14.5 and 15.0 mph; depending on wind conditions, humidity and other factors. Naturally the road speed will be slightly higher to produce the average. Sure enough, there will be at least 3 places where you can stretch the legs. Not a pace line.

When we get back to the parking lot you can grab a bite at Flo’s Luncheonette, or bring snacks to take with you before going just another 0.6 miles and 11 feet to the Blue Point Brewery where we can buy (NOT FREE) the new stuff that is hitting the market. So, come out and join me for a fun filled day with your fellow tea drinkers. I will bring a six pack of diet coke for those who don’t want to try the new stuff; or bring your own.
