I tend to be long winded so click "read more" on the bottom for the entire post. – How about taking a ride to Ridge for a change? It's a nice route with a little something for everyone. I've checked the problem roads and they have been repaved!

The average pace for the ride will be between 14.5 and 15mph. depending on wind conditions, and other factors such as humidity and squirrels. Naturally the road speed will be slightly higher to produce the average. Around mile 18 or so we’ll make a pit stop; you can go to Mickey D’s or the deli.
There will be a few long spots where one can stretch the legs if desired; working off any extra calories collected at the rest stop. This is not a pace line.

My cell number is 631.484.3490; call anytime if you have questions about this ride or need directions to the start. Please check the ride calendar for any weather, or last minute cancellations which will be posted no later than 7:30AM if necessary
