7:40 sharp start

Let’s take a scenic ride through Eastport, Remsenburg and Westhampton Beach. The average pace will be between 14.0 and 15.0 mph; naturally, the road speed will be slightly higher to produce the average. Part of the route will change just a bit since I understand the Jessup Bridge is under construction.

We will just go east a little further and then head down to Dune Road for about 2 miles, go west and then north on Beach Lane to the Beach Bakery mile 23, for some goodies and a bathroom break before heading back to the start.

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# is 631.484.3490; call or test me anytime if you have questions or need directions to the start.

Consider this a training ride for the Osprey Ride: Info below…

Ok, boys and girls it’s time to think about the Osprey Ride. For those you did this with me last year you know we had a blast, it was nothing short of fun, fun, fun. If you missed it last year, try it this year; you won’t be disappointed! No credits of any kind given. But what the heck, it’s about the fun with your fellow riders before, during, and especially after the ride!  

Other ride leaders might want to post a training ride at a ride at a different level and join in the fun.   Last year we had about 48 riders from all levels. This is a great fun day; just ask those who did this ride the last 3 years. The route is flat with about 3 turns before reaching the rest stop at Orient Point, around mile 17; then the route is reversed.

After the ride there will be free food, live music, giveaways and wine tasting at Osprey’s Dominion as well as discounted prices on wine bottles for riders! . I will be doing a B- depending on the group and the wind. Yes, you have to dig in the pocket for some money; it’s for a good cause.

This week a repeat of the B pace, 41 mile ride from Eastport out to the Ponquogue Bridge along Dune Road. The length of the ride will be adjusted based on weather conditions.

My preference is to go long rather than worry about the pace. There will be plenty of time to increase the pace before the century.

There will be some wind to deal with so I'm asking for pulling help with what I call a modified pace line.

There will be a brief bathroom stop at mile 15 and a longer stop at the Beach Bakery near the end of the ride.

If you ever need to contact me for information, the best is a text, 631 804-0751.

Changes or cancellation by 7:30 day of ride.
