    UPDATE: Oops!!! - I initially clicked on the wrong bike type, this a *** Road Bike Ride *** ...pesky alien mind control.

    Leave the Manorville King Kullen for a structured 51(!!!) mile ride that takes us through the Circle. Not a crop circle, nor Stonehenge, but the turn circle that takes us out to Route 24 heading to our Final Frontier in Flanders. Once we pass that alien landmark, the Big Duck (it is kind of alien, it was moved from Riverhead), we turn onto Pleasure Drive for a nice little uphill grade. Here we will look for the alien life forms (ALFs) posing as riders to accelerate to be the first to the top.

    Will they be evil A.L.Fs like Moorbo:

    Or a nicer furrier ALF type:

    And of course we will also visit Mill Road, Area 51 and the Col de RCN, as usual. We will make a short stop, if needed, on the return from Pleasure Drive. There will be several route options to decrease the mileage, if 51 is too many miles, but there is something special about that number :)

    And as I am posting this on Wednesday, closing the Circle as it were, happy Pi Day.

    PS Don't forgot to check out the Stargazer sculpture as we pass it on Route 51:
