Too hot for the hills so off to the Beach Bakery where we will have a break. The group will stay together for a smooth as velvet A ride. No chase rule in effect.

Scoops and Grinds, located in Cutchogue on Sound Ave, has great ice cream, and adjcacent to Scoops is Braun's sea food, where you can pick up a sea food lunch, chowders, etc.  Behind scoops is a shaded area with picnic tables.  We will make a short stop prior to Scoops at a deli in Cutchogue for coffee or whatever. This ride follows the route of my Peconic Meander ride.  For info: contact Bill G. at 631-356-3036. Check the ride calendar the day of the ride for changes, which would be posted by 06:30am.

***Ride start location changed again.  We will now be leaving from Sunshine Mall and we're heading to Beach Bakery in Westhampton.  Sorry, but I had to change ride start location to keep miles around the 50 mark.  Starting from Sayville would have pushed the ride over 65 miles again.  I hope this doesn't inconvenience anyone.  If for some reason you are running late, please just give me a call.  My cell number is listed below.

--------------------------------------------------------

Weather will be too hot to do 65 miles on Thurs.  I am planning to reschedule the "Old BBB" ride for Sat 8/25.  Current 10 day forecast is showing a high of 80 degrees with full sun on 8/25.  Much more comfortable for a ride like this.

—————————————————————————-

I believe this is the old Bike-Boat-Bike route.  We will take Peconic Bay Blvd, New Suffolk Ave, and Rte 25 out to Greenport.  We'll then take the North Ferry over to Shelter Island and bike across the island to the South Ferry.  Lunch stop in Sag Harbor and then we'll return via Bridgehampton/Water Mill/Southampton.  We'll cross the Shinnecock Canal and then take Newtown Rd, Red Creek Rd and Flanders Rd back to Riverhead.

Rest stops approximately every 20-25 miles or as needed.  No one gets dropped.  FYI - You will need some $$ for the ferry and lunch.

If anyone has any questions, please call (cell# below).      

Today's Mi Tierrita ride will be going to Smith’s Point. The route is mostly flat with a small incline here and there and of course the Woodside bigger incline. The average pace for the ride will be between 14.5 to 15.0 +/- mph, and could wind up in the lower "B" range depending on the roads and wind direction. The road speed will be between 15 and 17.0 mph. 

We'll stop along the way for a bathroom break around mile 10. Don’t forget to bring a snack for the beach stop. Do you know what AGUAPANELA is? Come and find out; PARKING: Use the area of the parking lot on the SOUTH side first.

Please check the ride calendar for any weather, or last minute cancellations which will be posted no later than 7:30 am 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...
