First of all thanks to Ron once again for putting this together. 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. The average pace for this ride will be between 14.7 & 15.0 mph +/-, depending on the wind and other factors it could be in the lower "B" range. The road speed will be 15-17 mph to produce the average. Sure enough, there will be a spot or 2 where you can stretch the legs; a paceline is allowed on those leg stretch breaks for those who wish to do so; there is no obligation for other riders to do it.

When we get back to the parking lot you can grab a bite at Flo’s Luncheonette, bring it to the Blue Point Brewery, or you can bring your own stuff from home. There is usually a truck there that has food as well. That being said come out and join us for a fun filled day with your fellow tea drinkers. If you don’t want to ride then just come for the fun and the tea.

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