We will take a break at the Beach and a rest stop at Wertheim about mile 10. Pulls would be appreciated.

Come join us for the East End Ride series, this time with a concentraion on water views and beaches through parts of the Hamptons. We will head out on a journey that includes beautiful riding, amazing vistas, beaches, some incredible homes (and quite a number of absoulte monstrosities), a few dead ends where we can ohh and ahh, a hidden cove and did I mention water views. Weekday Southfork rides, like this one, start at 10:00 AM at the Hampton Bays LIRR train station (there is free parking) to avoid the morning trade parade traffic jam that exists during the morning rush beyond Hampton Bays.
Overall, we will be running much of the ride as more of a tour, enjoying the scenery, surroundings and views; nonetheless, riders should be able to maintain at least 15-16 mph on the flats when necessary (like our interludes on Montauk Highway). Our Hampton riding ends at the East Hampton train station, where we will take the train back to Hampton Bays. Train ride is supposed to be a bit over 30 minutes. Please bring a bungee cord to hang your bike.
We will not be making a stop to buy food during the ride, so, please bring lunch, snacks and sufficient hydration. We will make a few stops where one will have time for a quick snack or sandwich, but we will have an eye to make sure we make our return train. 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. Registraion may have to be limited, as we don't want to overwhelm the train on the return trip. I will share the final (I'm always tweaking) ridewithgps file with those who contact me. Any updates or weather issues will be posted to the ride listing by 7:30 on the day of the ride.
Please call or txt if you plan to join (347-922-3824).
Exploratory trip to Connecticut to check out roads for the 150 mile ride on Aug 22nd. Catching the 7:30am ferry to Bridgeport.

We'll then continue east for a bit (perhaps to Guilford) and then return to New Haven where we'll catch a Metro North train (similar to LIRR) from New Haven back to Bridgeport.
Pack sufficient nutrition and hydration for the trip, however, I do plan to make stops every 20-25 miles. Bring $$ and/or cc for ferry, train, lunch, etc. R/T ferry is $39 for adult and $28 for seniors (60+). Metro North train is about $4 (one-way).
Parking: Parking in Port Jeff can be challenging. There are a few options but I found a free parking lot off Barnum Ave (cross street in Caroline Ave). Less than 1/4 mile to ferry.
This will be a B- ride. Expect an average between 14.5-14.9 In order to get this average the road speeds will be between 14.5 and 16.5 mph. Going downhill, or with the wind at your back will be faster. The main objective is to finish the ride without being too concerned about the average. The average will depend mainly on the wind, the hills, and who shows up. We will stay together and there will be one or two break-a-ways for those who want. We will take a break at the Beach and a rest stop at Wertheim about mile 10. Pulls would be appreciated.

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. Climb at your own pace, wait ups at the top of each hill.

A ride to Manorville..... If it doesn't rain. Looking for the average speed to come in the low 17s. Short break to be determined tomorrow. Cross your fingers and keep an eye out for a rain delay or cancellation. The idea is to sneak in some miles between the rain drops.
Friendly "A" paced ride out to the nice Exxon station, where you can get a slice of 7-11 pizza or a hot dog and a Gatoraide (at your own personal expense). Friendly means we will stop for mechanical issues, regroup where needed, and make efferts to ride as a team within the parameters of the A guidlines.

Attention Long-haulers - here comes another adventure ride. Plan is to ride along the north shore of LI from Port Jeff to Orient Pt. We'll take 25A and Sound Ave most of the way to save time on the LI side (we've all seen these LI roads before). I would like to shoot for the 9:30am ferry from Orient but there's a 10am just in case (after the 10am, ferry runs every hour). Once we arrive in New London, we'll ride along the south shore of CT all the way to Bridgeport and then take ferry back to Port Jeff. Quick 5-7 min stops approx every 25 miles. To save some time, I suggest we grab a "meal to go" (2nd breakfast or very eary lunch) at Orient Country Deli and eat on the ferry. Food is also available on the ferry but it's about twice the price. I suggest everyone bringing a small string bag so you can safely carry your lunch to the ferry (4 miles).
Depending on time, I would like to make another food stop in CT (they also have a few Breweries along the way too). They say some of the best pizza in the USA can be found in New Haven (Sally's, Frank Pepe and Modern). I had take-out from Frank Pepe on Thurs and it was delish!! We can talk about it on the ferry.
Free parking close to the ferry at the Barnum Parking Lot (corner of Barnum Ave & Caroline Ave).
Orient/New London Ferry: One-way Adult $22 plus bike $12
Bridgeport/Port Jeff Ferry: One-way Adult $23; Senior $20 (60+); no-charge for bikes
Bridgeport Ferry Departures: 6:15pm, 7:15pm, 8:15pm, last ferry 9:15pm
Pls note: RwGPS route shows 164 miles; however, that includes trip over the water on ferry. We actually may need to add about 4-5 miles in CT to make the 150 target. I also a buffer plan if for some reason we're running late. We can cut off about 30 miles at the end if we need to. MetroNorth (same MTA network as LIRR) runs a train about every hour from New Haven to Bridgeport (4 stops /28 mins / Audult $4 and Senior $2 / no-charge for bike).
We will be leaving the Senoir Center and head to North Fork for a 40 mile ride + maybe a few more. Final route to be determined. Our turnaround point will be aroud Horton Lighthouse. We have a few restroom breaks along the way, and our food will be around mile 27. Please bring snacks & drinks for short breaks before and after our food stop.
The ride will be at a (B- pace) with an average speed of around 14.5 to 15 mphand road speeds that will reach 16 to 19 mph.
Please Note: Our road speed/average will depend on rider ability and wind conditions.
If you have any questions text or call Mike 516 448-8545.

This will be a B- ride. Expect an average between 14.5-14.9 +/- a tad. In order to get this average the road speeds will be between 14.5 and 16.5 mph. Going downhill, or with the wind at your back will be faster. The main objective is to finish the ride without being too concerned about the average. The average will depend mainly on the wind, the hills, and who shows up. We will stay together and there will be one or two break-a-ways for those who want. We will take a break at the Beach and a rest stop at Wertheim about mile 10. Pulls would be appreciated.
If you have any questions or concerns please text me at 631.484.3490. Should there be a cancelation, or change it will be posted by 7:30am.

Meet at The Kreb Cycle in Eastport for a rolling paceline ride that takes us to Cupsogue Beach on Dune Road. The pace will be a little easier, so we save our legs for the big weekend rides!
Oops, it's Jimmy Buffett Day, so be extra careful and be on the lookout for Landsharks (both bottled and walking)! Wear a bright jersey and be ready for anything! https://youtu.be/tNrM7DnYz4Y
The details:
Once we leave Eastport and head through Remsenberg, we'll take the Beach Lane bridge to Dune Road, where you are on your own to Cupsogue! After a quick stop at Cupsogue at 13 miles, we return on Dune Road, where we stay together and go carefully over the Jessup Lane bridge. Then it's Old Country Road, with the treat of Speonk-Riverhead Road and CR 51, and back to the finish!
NOTE: We'll take it easy over each bridge and regroup when we hit landfall, so no one is pressured into riding over their head on the bridges!
Time to get some miles in for those late season century rides! Meet at the Veterans' Park in the old Grumman Site for a paceline ride out to Cutchogue.
The pace will be a high B/B+, but we will keep everyone together! The predicted winds are from the East, so it will be critical that everyone stays in the paceline, since we'll be pushing East into the wind for half of the ride ! BUT, that means we get a tailwind push home!
The route :The east leg takes us out past Briermere, up to The Tanks and out Sound Avenue to the farm fields. We turn around and head west on Bridge Lane for a food stop in Cutchogue at 31 miles. After the stop, we continue west along Peconic Bay to Riverhead, then up Route 24 and back to the start.
We will be leaving Oakdale RR and head to Bellport and returning to Oakdale for a 32 mile ride. Our food/restroom break will be around 17-18 miles in Bellport. The ride will be at a (B - pace) with an average speed of around 14.5 -15 mphand road speeds that will reach 16 to 18 mph.
