Lets try to beat the heat and get in a ride. Meet at the parking lot by Krebs.

This will be a paceline.

Route is here

http://ridewithgps.com/routes/5466740

Average speed will be between 16.5 and 17.5 depending on the group

!!!Changed to Sunday!!!
Note: There is no food stop. Bring a snack we can make a quick stop at the Ecology Center for bathrooms

Leave the Manorville King Kullen for a ride out to the Alien Highway to see if the aliens will come out to play. We'll visit the 51 Hill and have several regroups with a stop at the former Hess Station. This will be a new extended loop.

When we hit the Alien Highway, will the aliens sneak into our ride or creations from some secret lab? Who are the aliens and who are the humans...stay tuned.

Last week's ride in reverse. Let's see if the hills are more challenging in the opposite direction. Riders will be expected to ride single file. Break at Wildwood State Park.

Cancelled due to rain.

Since the B- and B ride classifications overlap this ride can be considered either a fast B- or a slow B ( about 15.0 ). I'm still working out the route but the mileage should come in somewhere between 35 and 40 miles. Food/rest stop will be at Briermere around mile 20. Cancellation for any reason will be posted no later than 7AM.

Cancelled due to Moes surgery which was a success, need a few days to heal.

let's try to get a ride in

Checked the radar - large area of green coming in from dover, de and should reach us by 8AM and last through 1PM so this ride is cancelled as roads will be too wet to ride after this event passes. Will try again another time.

Going to East Islip with a stop at Timber Point Golf Club for a snack. NOBODY LEFT BEHIND. Special care taken for newbies. Any cancellation by 8:30AM. Average pace should be 11-12.5MPH.

Leave at 9:30.AM. Eat in Orient. 917-797-7873

I know this is crazy but the sun came out so i will be at the ride start by 11:00 if anyone can make it.

Sorry everyone..it is starting to rain again so I am going to cancel this ride..

***I am going to try to delay the start of the ride. I will shoot for 10;30 so check back to see if I delay it more or cancel the ride. The distance might also get shortened so stay tuned***

There will be a sandcastle building contest at the beach today so we will get to see some of the masterpieces that people create when we get to the beach. Our stop is the beach and then we will head back to Patchogue. This is the shortened version of Rons BBB ride.
Park on the SW side of the lot near the YMCA. Check for updates the morning of the ride.

*****UPDATED - 8/3/2014 - 8:50AM - RIDE IS A GO at 12:30. The roads should be dry and safe by then*****

**UPDATED – 8/3/2014 – 7:20AM- DELAYED TILL 12:30 I will update again at 11:30 if there are any changes** Hang in, I will do my best to get this ride in today!!

I tend to be long winded so click "read more" on the bottom for the entire post. - How about taking a ride to Great River today? We will go the usual route through Connetquot Park and then do a loop in Heckscher Park where one can stretch the legs a bit; this is not a pace line. The route is mostly flat with 3 little hills. This ride will come in with an average between 14.9 & 15.0 mph; depending on the wind it could come in a tad higher. The road speed on this ride will be between 15 and 17mph.

Please be prepared to do road speeds higher than 15.0. However, we will slow down for humidity and squirrels. We'll be making a food/rest stop around mile 20. Bring a chair and supplies if you want for an end of ride repair clinic.

Please check the ride calendar for any weather, or last minute cancellations which will be posted no later than 7:30AM if necessary. My cell number is 631.484.3490; call anytime if you have questions about this ride or need directions to the start.
