Updated 12:30pm Sunday ---The ride will not be moved to Monday it is Cancelled

I don’t think the roads will be in any riding condition on Sunday. For now, the ride may be MOVED to Monday, SHORTENED, and CHANGED. I will check out the road conditions on Sunday for a possible move to Monday. Please check for updates late Sunday, or Monday morning.

The meeting place for this ride is JFK High School in East Islip just south of Carlton Ave after crossing Montauk Highway. This is where Joe does his evening rides; if you are unfamiliar with the location call or text me.

Its winter, if it’s too cold, or windy this ride may be shortened, the route altered, canceled, or the stops may be changed depending on the wind direction. However, be prepared to do the entire ride. Please remember to check for cancellations or changes the morning of the ride.

The ride is flat except for two overpasses and a few small rollers. This route will take us to Heckscher Park where we can do a loop around the park, and a quick pee stop. From there we will be going to North Great River and Bohemia making our way to the bike path at Connetquot Park. 

We’ll be taking a break around mile 25 at the local Subway, Deli, or Pizza shop; your choice. If that doesn’t "squeak your duck" you can go to the bakery; or all four places. Before going back we’ll take a scenic detour around some of the nicer streets in East Islip, eventually working our way down to the Bayside Grill & Clam Bar; sorry, it’s closed, but the views from the East Islip Marina are lovely. After that it’s back to the scenic part of the ride as we make our return to the starting point. After the ride there will be cookies and eggnog to warm you up. Yippee-Ki-Yay!

The average will be between 14.5 & 15.0 mph depending on the wind and road conditions. The route might vary somewhat depending on the wind condition for today. Expect the road speed to be between 15.0 and 16.5mph, again depending on the wind.

Please check the ride calendar for any weather, or last minute cancellations which will be posted no later than 8:00am if necessary. My cell number is 631.484.3490; call or text anytime if you have questions about the ride, or need directions to the start.
