We will be leaving the bank heading to Babylon.  There will be a break at McDonlds around mile 20.  This is a B- ride that will average around 14.5 - 15 mph with road speeds that will reach 16 to 19 mph. 

Any questions call or text Mike at 516 448-8545.

START LOCATION CHANGED TO: The Dayton Avenue School!

Well it looks like it's going to get warm!  So, we're going to drop the pace a little, and go for some moderate miles to finish without any issues! 

Let's set the ride mood: https://youtu.be/bn-AE0bvTOE

This will be a controlled paceline ride;  that means no jacking-up the pace and riding smoothly and in a straight line! If you are on a deadline, then this may not be the ride for you.  If you want a harder workout, bring your mountain bike, or your fat tire bike!

We'lll paceline along the cooling waterfront, through Eastport and Remsenberg to Westhampton Beach for a stop at the Beach Bakery at around 15 miles.  Then we'll take the flatter Beach Lane bridge for a 2 mile run on Dune Road eastbound.  We hop over the Post Lane bridge to ride into Quogue (remember the Turtle Ride), and then begin the return. After the Casa Basso and Eastport, we head back into Manorville on Head of the Neck/Clancy to Chapman and South St. to the finish!

Since it will be getting hotter late in the ride, we may take a water stop or two to avoid anyone getting dehydrated!  If you see anyone getting dropped, let us know so we can slow down and keep them in the group!    We don't want anyone riding lost and alone out in the heat!

Allons-y!

This C+ ride of 18-25 miles will average 11.5-12.5mph. Bring snack/hydration as route depends on wind, tide, position of moon and ride leaders disposition. Newbies welcome and well taken care of and nobody gets left behind. Any cancellation will be by 8:00am. No need to text, email, phone, send message by carrier pidgeon or smoke signal me. Just show up 15-20 minutes before ride start to get your s**t together.

We will go the usual route heading south using the connetquot park bike path. We'll work our way down to Heckscher Park. I would like to keep the road speeds 15-18 mph and come in at an average 15 and 15.9. Pulls are always Appreciated. Good Stuff after the ride.

Come join us for a Moriches exploration as we head down from Maples and ride around the Moriches exploring roads and dead ends with water views.  All and all, 38 or so miles with lots and lots of turns (which should slow the average speed).  This is a slight variation of a ride we introduced last summer with a few new turns and hopefully a surprise.

We will not be making a stop to buy lunch during the ride.  However, there will be a number of scenic and other stops along the way, so please bring any food or snacks you may want or need as well as sufficient hydration.  Most importantly bring an upbeat inquisitive attitude ready to explore and discover.

To join the ride or if you have questions, please text Bill Mastro at 917-921-5358.  I usually send the final ridewithgps file to those that text me.  Any updates or weather issues will be posted to the ride listing by 7:15 on the day of the ride.
