Join me for a ride on the first day of the club's "ride calendar" year.

This will be a C+ ride, with an average of 12.3 - 12.8, depending on the winds, riders, etc. We will ride around Holbrook, back through Ronkonkoma and then around Bohemia, where we will take our break at the Gourmet Bagel Co. on Lakeland Avenue (beverages, food, and a bathroom are available).  We will then head down to Sayville, loop back up to Bohemia, and then head back to the ride start. Adjustments to the route direction and/or distances may be made due to the prevailing winds and/or temperature changes, so there will not be cue sheets. We will be observing spacing rules, etc.

Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the ride start to "get yourself" ready.
