Winds may change this ride.  The strong winds predicted for tomorrow, if the forecast is right, will change this ride from the route going to Briermere which is very exposed to the wind, to riding in and around Calverton,  with a break at Bean and Bagel. Strong winds may slow down our speed, and possibly limit our ride distance.  We will still be leaving from the Maple's parking lot. Note: there is a high pollen alert for Tuesday. Be sure to check the ride calendar by 07:45am for any further changes. Off to Briermere's, with a brief stop to view the American Bison herd (if they are in one of the fields we can see from the road). Brieremere's has restrooms and picnic tables.  If you want to share a pie, bring singles and change.  Coffee and tea are available, along with a variety of wonderful baked goods.  For info: contact Bill G. at 631-356-3036.  Check the ride calendar the day of the ride for changes, which would be posted by 07:45am.
