7:15am sharp start

coffee in the shop after the ride

Need a bit more time to determine weather and wind. Check back by 7:30 for any changes.

Ok, now we're movin! Lets shake off the bad weather and get serious. We will start adding on the miles now and maybe picking up the pace (group to decide on pace). We will head to Smith Point using the route we did to Bellport and then down to the park. We can pick up a snack at the 7-11 or Deli and bring it down to the beach. I will check out the roads before hand and pray they look good, otherwise may need to reroute to make the miles. I look forward to seeing everyone. There will NOT be a ride on Sunday if weather doesn't cooperate on Saturday. Contact me if you have any questions.

Meet at the southwest corner of the parking lot. Food/rest stop at the deli in Bellport. The long-range forecast for Saturday is for AM rain but since people may have plans for Easter Sunday I want to try to get this ride in on Saturday if at all possible. If weather is an issue I will delay the start time on Saturday to as late at 1:00PM if necessary, otherwise I will reschedule for Sunday. Check back later in the week for any updates to this posting.

Leave the Manorville King Kullen for our first spin out to Briermere Farms. Let's hope the Easter Bunny brings us a sunny day. To avoid the winds, we'll use the southern return route.

We'll keep a group together, so that no one has to ride alone.

Allons-y!

Bring a snack to eat at the Beach. That will be the only stop (Restroom may be open). Lunch at one of LI's best Pizza's when we're done.

***UPDATE – 4/4/2015 – 7:25AM. CANCELED, several weather sites predict winds of 19 – 29 mph with gusts as high as 40 mph. I really don’t want to ride in this; there will be better days coming soon.***

It’s off to Manorville, hopefully it wont rain again this weekend. The average pace for the ride will be between 14.0 to 15.0 mph; perhaps a tad higher or lower depending on the road condition, wind direction and other conditions. Naturally, the road speed will be higher (15 -17 mph.) to produce the average. A rest/ food stop at McDonald’s or the bagel shop is on the schedule around mile 12. There will be some leg stretches along the way for those who feel the need.

Please check the ride calendar for any weather, or last minute cancellations which will be posted no later than 8:00AM if necessary. My cell number is 631.484.3490; call anytime if you have questions about the ride or need directions to the start.

This is a ride to just to get on the bike and do an easy ride to Bellport. It a holiday for some so I did not want to take the entire day up with a bike ride. We will stop in Bellport for a quick break so bring a snack or you can go to the Deli before we head down to the water. For anyone who has not gone to the Sayville start it is the parking lot on the South side of the train tracks. If it rains I will try to delay the ride start but if it gets to late I will have to cancel the ride.

The usual -- but may modify according to conditions/winds/.... be flexible.

with extra finish rollers you can skip.... Take off time is 10:00AM promptly if not too wet, watch for updates.

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]
