First off, we'll meet at a ***new start location***, to get around the parkig wars: the Dayton Avenue School. It's less than 2 miles away from the South Street School, CORRECTION: it's at 151 Dayton Avenue with plenty of parking. (Thanks, Chip).
When you have a hard decision between a couple of tough choices, you're between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. Hmm more terrain or more miles, I think we need more miles. And I definitely like the Sea better than the Devil...but I'm sure he'll be chasing us.
So the plan is a 50 mile paceline ride heading along a southern route to the Sea at Cupsogue Beach and then back through Westhampton Beach. After a fuel stop in Westhampton Beach at around 25 miles, we head north past the airport. Next we'll dodge a few dimpled balls, head down 51 Hill and head up to Route 24. Eventually we'll hit Grumman Blvd. and then it's down to South Street, before it's up Dayton Hill and the finish.
The terrain will be mostly flat to lightly rolling, except for the Land of the Dimpled Ball.
Since the mileage is going up, let's work together like a team. No surges and we look out for each other - no one likes being solo in the wind. AND, there will be mutiple choices, if we need to cut the distance.
Oh yeah, Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea: https://youtu.be/iMJEtLjnO7E
Allons-y!
