Leave the Manorville King Kullen for another alien encounter. Hopefully, Area 51 will welcome us with light winds. There will be no formal stop, but plan on a couple of regroups, including one at the former Hess station and one at the traffic light after The Hill.

Allons-y!

The jelly donut still calls, maybe with some hot soup. Let’s take a scenic ride through Eastport, Remsenburg and Westhampton Beach. The average pace will be between 14.8 and 15.0 mph. depending on the wind and other factors it could be a tad higher. Road speed will be between 15 & 17 mph. Naturally there will be the usual leg stretches. Around mile 22 we’ll stop at the Beach Bakery for some goodies and a bathroom break before heading back to the start.

Almost entirely flat route that was well received on the Halloween ride (nice fall scenery). Likely on the lower end of the B range, weather and legs permitting.

Riding to Moriches, destination McDonalds around mile 15 for a brief rest/food break. Pace will be the higher end of the B pace. The wind at our backs will give us a higher average during the ride but the headwind will bring the average to where it needs to be for a B. We will all stay together. Check for any changes in ride start time or cancellation due to weather conditions the morning of the ride.

Note: I am cancelling Thursday's ride and rescheduling it for Saturday. Take LIE exit 70 South, about 1/2 mile to King Kullen/McDonald's/7-11 lot. Park facing McD. and 7-11. We will ride to Westhampton Beach, travel a short distance East on Dune Road, and if the Quogue(Post Lane Bridge) is still closed, head up to Quogue Preserve. On the return we will stop at the Beach Bakery for soup, baked goods or lunch, and than head back to Manorville. Bathrooms are available in Westhampton, and also at the preserve if we go there. Speed will average about 13-14mph depending on rider ability and wind. For info. call Bill Gravitz at 631-356-3036. From the bakery it is about 12 miles back to Manorville.
