    ***Ride start location changed again.  We will now be leaving from Sunshine Mall and we're heading to Beach Bakery in Westhampton.  Sorry, but I had to change ride start location to keep miles around the 50 mark.  Starting from Sayville would have pushed the ride over 65 miles again.  I hope this doesn't inconvenience anyone.  If for some reason you are running late, please just give me a call.  My cell number is listed below.

    --------------------------------------------------------

    Weather will be too hot to do 65 miles on Thurs.  I am planning to reschedule the "Old BBB" ride for Sat 8/25.  Current 10 day forecast is showing a high of 80 degrees with full sun on 8/25.  Much more comfortable for a ride like this.

    —————————————————————————-

    I believe this is the old Bike-Boat-Bike route.  We will take Peconic Bay Blvd, New Suffolk Ave, and Rte 25 out to Greenport.  We'll then take the North Ferry over to Shelter Island and bike across the island to the South Ferry.  Lunch stop in Sag Harbor and then we'll return via Bridgehampton/Water Mill/Southampton.  We'll cross the Shinnecock Canal and then take Newtown Rd, Red Creek Rd and Flanders Rd back to Riverhead.

    Rest stops approximately every 20-25 miles or as needed.  No one gets dropped.  FYI - You will need some $$ for the ferry and lunch.

    If anyone has any questions, please call (cell# below).
