NOTE: VENUE CHANGED: This will be a SLOW hilly ride in Manorville. I had so much fun last time when I climbed and rested on the hill tops! Faster riders can start with John and ride between the two groups. The snow flakes will remain on the trail so it will be interesting!
Please contact me at the cell # below if you plan to do the ride with me (a slow ride!). If you don't touch base with me I will start the ride when all those that have made contact are present.

I plan to do CR83 North, ALL of the Ridges and Dark Side of the Moon; Depending on the milage and how I feel I will finish with White Ghost.

Ride cancelled, snow and ice on my streets. Off to Smithpoint County Park and Osprey Point for excellent water views. Bring several snacks and drinks for our stops. Restrooms available riding out to the parks, and on the return trip. To join the ride, text Bill G. at 631-356-3036 with your full name and date of the ride. Check the ride claendar the day of the ride for changes, which would be posted by 08:00am.
Starting a bit later to grab an extra degree or two. It's only going to reach 36-37 degrees during the ride so I'm cutting the ride shorter at 30 miles and the stop at DD will be quick.
This could be the last chance to ride until Sunday as the riding temperatures will be in the teens Saturday.
Pace will be a mid B and as always adjusted to the riders who show up. Text if you have any questions or want me to sign you in.
Off to Bean and Bagel, which has outside and inside eating areas. Note: this restaurant also has soup, a nice treat for winter riders. Note: None of the ride will be on the Grumman trail, because of the possibility of ice under leaves or debris, especially in shaded areas (this is a change from the original posting) To join this ride, text Bill G. with your full name and date of ride. Check the ride calendar the day of the ride for changes, which would be posted by 08:00am.

I plan to do CR83 North, ALL of the Ridges and the Dark Side of the Moon; Depending on the milage and how I feel, I may finish with White Ghost. If a faster group shows I will let them go and hang with the slowest rider. I'll need the hill top rest ;-) .

We will be leaving Oakdale RR and head to Bellport and returning to Oakdale for a 30 mile ride. Our food/restroom break will be around mile 17 in Bellport. The ride will be at a (B - pace) with an average speed of around 14.5 mphand road speeds that will reach 16 to 18 mph.
If you have any questions text or call Mike 516 448-8545. Changes or cancelation will be posted by 7:30am day of ride.
This ride will include doing most of Edgewood until we reach about 20 miles. If you do not want to do all the expert trails you can wait for us to come out of the expert loops so this would be a shorter ride for those that do not want to do all the expert trails. Edgewood is designed so that the expert trails (yellow, blue and red markings) come out near where they start. I will have maps that show the expert loops and where they enter and exit the main trail (main trail is marked white). Any questions please feel free to call.
Sorry all, I have to cancel the ride. I am not feeling well.
We'll try this again soon!
Take advantage of this nice weather and make a connection with the X-Pensive Winos, I mean the Thundebirds for a paceline ride to Riverhead. https://youtu.be/mWfJrshLz6I
We will leave the South Street School at 9:30 AM to head out to Riverhead on a lightly rolling route through the fields. Then it's a ride south down to Riverhead. After a quick stop at the bagel shop, we will return along the rollers on Route 24 back to Manorville.
Since we may hit some winds on the return, we will keep everyone together especially along Route 24, so no one is solo in the wind.
We will now be on the SOUTH SIDE of the Ronk train station near the Western end of the parking lot closest to Railroad Ave. Bring a snack and hydration. Route depends on riders ability, wind, position of moon and ride leaders disposition. As always newbies always well taken care of and no one gets dropped. Wheels down at posted time as "Daylights A Burnin" so get there 15 minutes before. Any cancellation will be by 9am. No need to text me, just "show n go". Ride average will range from 11.5-12.5mph for this 18-24 mile ride.
Coming from LIE take Ronkonkoma Ave. South, just over RR bridge make 3 right turns, parking is on right, corner of Railroad AVe and Ronkonkoma Ave.
Coming from Lakeland Ave. Sunrise Hwy., go North just pass Vets Hwy make right on Smithtown Ave (following alongside of airport), just before bridge make right on Railroad Ave, parking is on left side (go past one way entrance and make 1st available left into lot).

Join us as we ride out from Bellport at first utilizing some of the usual roads, but then go for a bit of a Mastic Meander taking the longer way to Osprey Point with lots of turns and some different views. From there, we head north, pass by the airport, head to River Road before heading back south to Bellport. All and all, a neat 35 miles that combines both parss with many turns along with some long stretches of riding. Long-term forecast seems decent as long as we dodge the costal storm this weekend. Ride starts at 10:30 to get some extra warmth.
Other than a quick opportunity at Dunkin Donuts, we will not be making a stop to buy food/lunch during the ride, but there will be stops along the way, so please bring any food/snacks you may want or need as well as sufficient hydration.
