Leaving the bank we will head to North Great River, Heckscher Park and Islip Beach. If we have time we will stop at McDonalds around mile 22.

This is a B- ride with an average speed of 14.5 to 15 mph, road speeds may reach 16-18mph.  Check the ride calender for any changes posted by 7:00am day of the ride.

Any questions you can call Mike at 516 448-8545.

Now the details:

The ride will start at Sunshine Mall at 8:30. Please note the time change. We will head east and stop at the public restrooms in Westhampton to quickly take care of business. We then head down to Dune Road and go to the Ponquogue Bridge, cross it, and head west. Eventually, we will arrive at the Beach Bakery for a rest stop. Afterward, we will continue west to the ride start. There may be one or two quick drink/snack and go stops depending on the weather.

The pace will be in the B/B+ range since it is a rather flat route, and we will do a modified pace line.

We will ride as a group and return the same way.

This is “officially” part of the century training series and hopefully for the next several rides those who are thinking of going with this group will make an effort to ride; however, the ride, of course, is open to everyone.

This ride is part of a continuing series of rides to give riders the practice to do the 100k metric century ride.  We will ride along the North Shore of Peconic Bay, with water views, farmland and a vineyard.  Our ride will also take us to water views at Nassau Point.  Our major rest stop will be at a deli in Cutchogue, and there are some porta-potties at parks and marinas along the way.  Bring snacks and water to supplement our Cutchogue stop. Don't forget sunscreen. This ride is open to riders not doing the metric century.  Be sure of your ability to ride fifty miles if you wish to do this ride. We will average between 13-14mph on the ride.  Changes in weather, especially wind, can change the ride destination, starting point, speed, or even cancel  the ride, so be sure to check the ride calendar the day of the ride.  Any change would be posted by 07:00am.  For info: call/text Bill Gravitz at 631-356-3036.

Get ready for the Thundermetric (c) our first metric century; a/k/a the T-Birds Training Ride #7.  We even threw in a few extra miles, over the metric distance (62.1 miles), for extra fun.  We'll ride eastward along part of the Century route through Westhampton Beach, before heading north along some of the original BBB route, on our way to Briermere Farms.

This ride will leave you Thunderstruck: https://youtu.be/v2AC41dglnM

Now some housekeeping:

1. Let's park in front of the South St. School building, and in the west lot by the flag pole, so we don't have any issues with the baseball teams. 

2. I appreciate everyone's enthusiasm to speed the ride up, but let's keep the pace even, so we keep the group together!   Jacking the pace up and riding off the front disturbs the ride and breaks the group up...not cool as we increase the distance.

3. Pack the large water bottles, snacks and gels.  The distance is where things start to get more serious.

Allons-y!

You must be pre registered for the Beginner Training Series to participate

Let's ride 55 miles on 5/5!  Be sure to bring enough water to hydrate and cash for our stop at the beach bakery.  Bring a spare tube and cartridges and air up your tires for a nice smooth ride.  

No one will be dropped and the pace will be according to the ride classification and wind direction.

Please check back for any changes/cancellations which will be posted here by 7:00 AM the day of the ride.

Park south of Wendy's.  No lunch stop,  Lunch after ride.

Come join us for this festive ride. I'm not sure which way we're going yet, but we'll try to avoid the wind or go into it first. After the ride everyone can come in and enjoy some fantastic food and drinks. Bring a change of clothes if that will make more comfortable. 

Only Change Is The Time To 1:00PM

This will be a "B-" ride!!...Other ride leaders are welcome to join in, and lead a group at a different pace. Well, it’s Cinco de Mayo, and I have a great ride, and a fun day planned for you. Just ask those who attended last year. Ask your boss for the day off, or treat him to lunch; I just know he/she would love to come and taste some real Columbian food. The ride will start from the Mi Territa restaurant and go to Smith's Point. The first bathroom break will be around mile 10, next one at the beach, bring a snack for the beach if you want.

When the ride is officially over its back to the restaurant for some excellent Columbian food. There will be several varieties of cold drinks; Personally, I think the Cadillac Sangria is to die for, also try the margarita sangria; between that and the jelly donuts is the reason I ride. One tiny winy thing I might mention, it’s NOT FREE so bring some US Dollars or Columbian Peso’s with you; the exchange rate will be announced. For your entertainment around 6:00PM there will be a mariachi band, or a reggae band playing for your enjoyment. So, come on, let’s have another fun filled day with your friends. Non riders are also welcome, just leave me some Sangria.

The average pace for the ride will be between 14.5 to 15.0 mph, +/- depending on the roads, wind direction, and other conditions.

Please check the ride calendar for any weather, or last minute cancellations which will be posted no later than 11:00am if necessary. My cell phone# is 631.484.3490; call or text anytime if you have questions about this ride or need directions to the start.

Ride 16-20 miles to Patchogue or Oakdale, depending on wind at an 11-11.5 pace. Bring water and a snack. No one left behind and as always, newbies always well taken care of. Any cancellation by 12:30. Cookies at end?

Heading East then North. A short stop in Wading River. Mostly flats some mild hills. Ending with a Tequila Sunset.  My cell 631 922-0632
