Welcome to Hills 101. We ride the North Shore hills around the Three Villages with wait-ups as necessary for all riders. Starting out as C+, we end up doing this ride at a B- in the summer. For now, we will be in the 12.5-13.5 range on the flats and we take the hills at our own level. Final average will be in the 12-13mph range.
If you've always wanted to work on your hills skills, this is for you.
This ride has no bathroom stop but we do take a snack break at the Old Field lighthouse. Weather cancellation will be posted by 9AM.

This is a hilly, early season, multi-stop ride averaging around 14.0 - 14.5 mph.

We'll struggle with the hills of Stony Brook, Old Field and Setauket, and take a bunch of breaks along the way.

With sunset at 7:01pm and cloud-cover in the forecast, bright colored clothing and bicycle lighting, front and back if you have it, are highly recommended.

Narrow roads require single file riding along most of the route. The ride allows a few locations to break-away from the group, as instructed by the ride leader, otherwise the group will stay together.

We will stay in the East Islip neighborhoods south of Montauk Hwy. If it is not too windy we will do one loop of the bike path in Heckscher Park. Mileage is approximate, it may go as high as 15. Cancellation for any reason will be posted no later than 4:00PM. If ride is cancelled it may be rescheduled for later in the week.
