    Looks like it's going to be a bit windy on Saturday so as we have been doing this season, we will need to head into the wind so we are not struggling all the way home. Although going east has longer stretches of road, we will head west into the wind. We will be on familiar roads and we will have plenty of opportunities to stop for the bathroom and food. Look forward to seeing everyone.

    ***READ THIS POST AND CHECK BACK ON FRIDAY!!!*****

    So I put the order in for the weather to be just like last Saturday (I can only ask people)! Please keep an eye on this post because I am still working on the route and watching the winds. There may be a change to the start location which I will post by Friday morning. We had great speed last week and we are now cooking at a B- pace but it's the miles we want. This will be our longest training ride. We will be rolling out at 8 am SHARP! If the weather turns for some reason I WILL be moving this ride to Sunday. Remember I will not be running a training ride on 5/2 or 5/3 so see if you can join a ride at our current pace but not crazy miles. At this point you do not want to add anything new to your diet or bike clothing. Stick to know what you are comfortable in.

    Just as a quick note, the day of the Century, leaving out of Babylon, I would like to be on the road by 7 am which means you should be in Babylon by 6:15 to check in and get yourself together (if you are parking remember to bring the $5 in quarters). There will be a luggage truck that will bring out your SMALL bag with a change of clothes to Montauk. Be sure to put your name on your bag!!! You should have ID, cash, medical card and credit card. Bring snacks (there will be snacks at Babylon also) and be sure to have full water bottles.

    Please feel free to contact me on my cell if you have any questions. I ask for everyone's help in supporting my prayers for good weather.
