I was trying to hold out but based on the forcast I need to be safe and cancel. I do have a ride posted for tomorrow afternoon but it was supposed to be a short run. If enough people contact me or comments on the post or based on who shows up tomorrow I can modify it to a training ride but it will go to later in the afternoon.

Even though we are behind in the mileage I wanted to keep this ride the same as last week as it is supposed to be another windy day. I think another week of getting used to the bike and roads is needed. Right now the plan is to head west to Bay Shore and into the wind and get it out of the way to hopefully enjoy the benefits coming back. We will loop down to Heckscher Park and then back to Sayville. I suggest you bring snacks and water. We will have a quick stop but we want to keep moving. A quick note: I do plan on doing the full Century as long as over the next couple of week we really start adding on the miles. Remember come the day of the Century, if you not not comfortable doing the full Century the Metric is an option as well.

Please be sure to have extra tubes and CO cartridges on hand as these roads are not being very friendly. Better to be prepared!

If you have any questions or looking for additional information, feel free to contact my cell.

The usual, with extra finish rollers. Take off time is 9:00AM promptly.

No go if rain or significant wet/snowy road ways or bad ass rain approaching on radar o-] Check for status updates by 7am.[/][/b]

Refreshments / Coffee stop at Jamesport Duffys Deli, brief stop/reassembly as needed at IPBP and other key locations. [/][/b]

as marked -- good B+ riders are welcome to give it a try! Promise no one getting dropped or lost -- waiting up at key points as necessary.

Looking for a good base level A (but up to A+, AA at times possible with wait-ups as needed) pace. No one is getting dropped.
In general I want to see this smooth super efficient team effort to optimize time!!! Smooth but fast in general. Little playing allowed at the few dedicated hilly sections (you will find out). Reassembly after that -- always, no worries.

** Come for a training ride -- "as fast as you are working with me" **

I classified it back down to A all-over -- but we will go some sections at A+..AA pace for sure (if you go and work with me) -- A and good B+ riders are always welcome, may form a trailing group, if any? -- learn how to work as a team!! -- we will have some wait ups (on top of the 1st lil hill if needed) but we will not wait on every turn -- as I also classified it as TEAM, what means exactly this -- stay all together as much as possible and help each other for most efficiency and best pace w/o dropping any one -- regardless, unless on riders request or extreme mismatch.... -- you better be able sit in easy at 19..21mph and try to handle a few faster sections (slow down afterwards for reassembly) -- have fun!

Rocky Point 2 Iron Peer Beach Park for quick snack watching the sound and reassembly, Coffee/Refreshments now in Jamesport Duffys Deli. Watch for weather related updates or delays -- will post any change or cancellations by very latest start time -1 hour at the day of ride, if unsure, contact me. Let's Go Flying. Starts promptly as indicated on top at Tildas Bake Shop, typical moving time 2h45..3h depending on you. Starts out with some rollers on North Country Rd to warm up, will go fast, but will do the best to reassemble group after 1st climb(s) and as needed, group stays together as a Team AND SHARES THE WIND if any and has fun like few flying birds!

However, this is a team style training ride, lean and execute team play, work together not to show off -- with exception of a few designated sections to play... with following regrouping.

***UPDATE - 3/28/2015 – 9:30AM CANCELED – Sorry guys/gals I just give up, the roads won’t be safe. I will check out the route for tomorrow and if there are any changes due to road conditions I will do that this evening.***

**UPDATE – 03/28/2015 – 7:30AM – The Ride is DELAYED till 11:00 check back at 9:30 for another update. I’m hoping this will blow over and not be too wet. I’m going to try and get this ride in.**

Oh Bobbbbbbbbbbbbbby, the jelly donut still calls. Let’s take a scenic ride through Eastport, Remsenburg and Westhampton Beach. The average pace will be between 14.0 and 15.0 mph. depending on the wind, road conditions, geese, ducks, squirrels, rabbits and that stray goat you see every once in awhile. 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.
