I believe this is what the old BBB route was before the town of Southold placed restrictions on organized group rides.  If this is not the exact route, it should be somewhat close to it.  We will ride from Riverhead to Greenport and then take the north ferry to Shelter Island (SI).  We will tour some of the nicer parts of SI (my favorite is Dering Harbor and Ram's Head) as we travel south to the North Haven ferry.  Once back on the mainland we will head to Sag Harbor for a rest stop before heading back up to Riverhead.  It's possible that we may do this loop in reverse depending on where we would like to stop for lunch.  We'll decide as a group on rest stops and lunch at ride start.   

You will need "cash" for the ferry plus some $$ for lunch.

Moderate pace - no one gets dropped.

Changes posted by 6am.

Ride to Manorville 

changes by six thirty 

Warmup....hills.....cool down 

Out through the pine barrens past the buffalo to Iron Pier Beach, Breakwater Beach, and New Suffolk.

Lunch at the Cutchogue Deli.

Pace is an honest B/B+, group stays together and no one gets dropped.

Park in the CVS / Dunkin Donuts shopping center, just south of LIE exit 70 on CR 111. Park all the way in the back past the dental office building.

Please be ready to roll at 8:30.

Any ride changes will be posted by 7 am the morning or the ride.

Off to Westhampton Beach, Cupsogue County Park, and Quogue.  Scenic break with bathroom stop at Cupsogue, view stop in Quogue, and an obligatory stop at the Westhampton Bakery.  For info: text/call: Bill G. at 631-356-3036.  Check the ride calendar day of ride for changes, which would be posted by 07:15am.  There will be several opportunities for faster riders to sprint ahead of the group on the Dune Road segment of the ride.

This morning it might be nice to take a ride through Bellport and Patchogue stopping for a break at Mickey D’s around mile 20. The average pace will be between 14.5 to 15.0 mph depending on the roads, wind direction, dew point, and other conditions. Naturally, the road speed will be higher (15 -16.5 mph.) to produce the average. Depending on the wind and the route back we might be +/- a mile.

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 phone number is 631-484-3490; call or text anytime if you have questions about this ride...Thanks Bobby
