MOM B+/A-.  Cruise at 20-23 mph. Avg 19. Steady Pace without surging, please. Because of the Dam Rd closure we will take Connecticut off of Grumman, then Mill Rd heading out to Route 24 to Wildwood Lake. Coming back we will take a RT on Pinehurst Blvd off of 24 West then Left on S River Rd back to 24, then Mill Rd Westbound as usual. I will discuss these changes before the ride starts. The route below does not reflect the route changes for the Dam Rd closure.

There are 2 things for sure about this ride:  it's scenic and it's hilly.  Come out if you want to stretch your climbing muscles.  Wait ups at the top of each climb.  I'm hoping for a C+/B- average, but this will be a 'B' effort.  Several scenic gulp and goes with a break at Ralph's Fishing Station.  Call if you have any questions.  Check the calendar before you leave your home, any changes will be posted by 7:00 am

So, it seems that construction may finally be finished at the parking lot by The Maples, so we can start riding from that location again!

It appears that Monday is the only day this week with some Blue Sky: https://youtu.be/G8dsvclf3Tk . So let's do another MTM ride, and get in some miles!

This  time we'll head out through the farms and onto the North Fork. We'll ride past Briermere and visit The Tanks (cue sinister music).  Then it's a 4 mile run to Mattituck for a stop at the bagel shop at around 22 miles.

The return run takes us along Peconic Bay, with an optional shop at the comfy chairs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2ncJ6ciGyM 

The last part of the ride finishes with a 5 mile run up Route 24, where there always seems to be a headwind!  So, save some energy for this finale!

NOTE: This will be a paceline ride.

Allons-y!

Lets try to get a ride in before the rain the rest of the week. Ride to Strongs Neck, Old Field and West Meadow Beach. Rolling hills-nothing terrible. Waitups if needed. Should be back by 745 at the latest.
