For those of you who frequent the Nassau-Suffolk Challenge ride, they have changed the ride date -- normally in mid-April and the first of the bigger rides, it has been moved this year to June 26. It's a charity ride and I guess they got tired of dealing with low attendance due to tricky weather conditions. And, take notice that this ride, the same route as Gold Coast but starting from the west, is a mere 3 weeks before the Gold Coast.
