Looking to keep this like a Fondo ride where we ride certain hills hard and the rest of the ride at a moderate pace. The first hill that we ride hard is Little Flower. There will be a wait up at the end. Next, we have a rest stop at the gas station on Edwards and LIE. I have spoken with them and the will have picnic tables set up for us. The next hill that we ride hard is 51. Rather than a full stop, we will have a soft pedal until the group is together. Of course, we will ride 111 hard but keep in mind that the group will stay together or we will have a wait up. The next brief stop will be at the Yaphank Fire House. The last 2 hills, Aston and Carl Hart Hill will also be on the list of riding hard.
In between the hills, I want to keep a pace that we can all handle. Please check the route before you arrive or download it as I will be looking for other peop;e to help me keep everyone together.

Since the Kreb ride is staying flat I'm headed to the North Shore hills. We don't have mountains but once we start coming back from the hills we will feel fast as gravity is not slowing us down ... it feels really good!
The pace of doing these hills will be lower than the pace of B/B+ but the effort will be the same as that speed on the flats. Think of this as a warmup to do John's Wednesday Morning Hills ride but slower ... We'll run the North Country Rd hills between Wildwood and Wading River and do Boy Scout as a finale!
Carry a snack along as we won't be making a food stop until after the ride ...
Be sure to check back Thursday evening after 8:30 PM ....

Bellport - Manor of St George - Floyd Mansion (Tour of Smith's Point)
A flat ride to places of historical interest around Smith's Point. The Manor of St George offers a breath taking view of Bellport Bay. We will visit the Beach at Smith's Point and then the William Floyd mansion. The original building at the Manor of St George was built before 1700. William Floyd was a signer of the Declaration of Independence and parts of the mansion were built in the very early eighteenth century. This will be a very moderately paced ride with no one left behind. Bring Snacks for breaks at the beach and at the William Floyd Mansion. The driveway to the Manor of St George is graveled in some sections so a hybrid bike is nice although I have biked the driveway on a skinny tired bike with no trouble.
Heading east on Canal Rd. to Whiskey Rd. to Ridge Rd. to 25A east to Calverton. Looping around & we then head west on 25 to Floyd (north), back on Whiskey to Canal. It's a fast, short & sweet, pretty flat run, (for the most part) on newly paved roads. My cell, 631 922-0632 Bring a light as daylight is quickly fading away. Grrrr!
