Lets get crazy with the Cheez Whiz!!! First rider to the Wading River Deli gets a free jar of Whiz!!! Lets ride the scenic North Shore, 1st half of ride is a bit hilly, 2nd half is fairly flat. Wait ups at the top of all of the climbs. Come join us, you'll be glad you did. Group to remain together as a group throughout the entire ride. Therefore, it will be a group ride. Be there or be ......

Cheez Whiz is one of a number of "processed cheese foods", a category including some types of individually wrapped cheese slices. These products contain regular cheese that has been reprocessed along with additional ingredients such as emulsifiers and stabilizing agents, such as xanthan gum or carrageenan. These products derive their tanginess and flavor from additional ingredients such as citric acid and flavoring compounds. Annatto is used for coloring. Yummy!!!

On a more serious note. My heart and prayers go out to Gregg Eisenstein and his family. Wishing you well and for a speedy recovery. Be well!!!

7:45am Sharp Start. Bagels & coffee to follow in shop.

Park across from Wendy's. We will head down to dune road up to tullys, then north to 24 and the big duck. After that its Riverhead, Manor ville, then back south to the start. We will have water and bathroom breaks as needed. Any questions call (631)478-9072.

The usual ride to Manorville with the rest stop at McDonalds or the bagel shop for a refresh. Pace will be around 16mph with faster cruising speeds throughout the ride. Group stays together. Please check the morning of the ride for any last minute changes.

I tend to be long winded so please click "read more" on the bottom for the entire post. - This Saturday we’re going to Ridge again since everyone enjoyed the ride last week. It's a nice route with some good roads, and of course, some with pot holes, but what else is new.

The average pace for the ride will be between 14.5 and 15mph., depending on wind conditions, and other factors we might be just a tad over 15; nothing new here. Naturally the road speed will be slightly higher to produce the average.

Around mile 18 or so we’ll make a pit stop; you can go to Mickey D’s or the deli. Maybe the umbrellas will be out. Then there will be few long spots where one can stretch the legs if desired, working off any extra calories collected at the rest stop.

My cell number is 631.484.3490; call anytime if you have questions about this ride or need directions to the start. Always check the ride calendar for any weather, or last minute cancellations which will be posted no later than 7:45AM if necessary.

We will start with a loop through the Oakdale area before heading out east through Sayville, Bayport and Blue Point, with a short rest stop at Corey Beach. Not sure whether I will be bringing the hybrid or the road bike so be prepared for a pace either on the low or high end of the B- range ( 13.0 - 15.0 ).
