UPDATE: 4/25/15 - CHANGE OF START LOCATION
Center Moriches Waldbaums, 812 Main St., Center Moriches, NY 11934
Meet at the southeast part of the parking lot by the train tracks.
Looks like it's going to be a bit windy on Saturday so as we have been doing this season, we will need to head into the wind so we are not struggling all the way home. Although going east has longer stretches of road, we will head west into the wind. We will be on familiar roads and we will have plenty of opportunities to stop for the bathroom and food. Look forward to seeing everyone.
***READ THIS POST AND CHECK BACK ON FRIDAY!!!*****
So I put the order in for the weather to be just like last Saturday (I can only ask people)! Please keep an eye on this post because I am still working on the route and watching the winds. There may be a change to the start location which I will post by Friday morning. We had great speed last week and we are now cooking at a B- pace but it's the miles we want. This will be our longest training ride. We will be rolling out at 8 am SHARP! If the weather turns for some reason I WILL be moving this ride to Sunday. Remember I will not be running a training ride on 5/2 or 5/3 so see if you can join a ride at our current pace but not crazy miles. At this point you do not want to add anything new to your diet or bike clothing. Stick to know what you are comfortable in.
Just as a quick note, the day of the Century, leaving out of Babylon, I would like to be on the road by 7 am which means you should be in Babylon by 6:15 to check in and get yourself together (if you are parking remember to bring the $5 in quarters). There will be a luggage truck that will bring out your SMALL bag with a change of clothes to Montauk. Be sure to put your name on your bag!!! You should have ID, cash, medical card and credit card. Bring snacks (there will be snacks at Babylon also) and be sure to have full water bottles.
Please feel free to contact me on my cell if you have any questions. I ask for everyone's help in supporting my prayers for good weather.
Can we catch a break at all? In light of the freeze warning we are having Friday night I am delaying the start time to 9:00. Dress warm! I really thought these days were over.
Well lets give it a try and go for the 65 miles today. Please arrive early so we can leave at 8:15 sharp. We will have rest stops one for lunch and one for a quick break to refuel and do what we have to do. If by chance it rains the day of this ride I am not able to reschedule for tomorrow. In the event this happens try to go on a different ride to get miles in. Lets hope for another beautiful day in the 70's!
*** Changing ride start to 9 am, this is not supposed to be a winter ride! ***
This is an extended North Fork Tour, rolling through the Pine Barrens and Riverhead, then out east to Mattituck and Cutchogue.
Along the way we'll stop at Iron Pier Beach, Mattituck Breakwater Beach and New Suffolk Beach.
Lunch will be in Cutchogue at the deli.
Pace will be an easy "B", we should average right around 15 mph.
Please be ready to roll at 9:AM - and try to remember your club ID# for the sign-in sheet.
Meet at the Monorville King Kullen: Take LIE to Exit 70, make right, shopping center is 1/2 mile south on the right, enter through McDonalds, or make a right onto Chapman.
Any updates or changes will be posted by 7 am the morning of the ride.
Let's Ease on Down the Road. Go out to Cutchogue with a quick stop at Briermere. This is again a no pressure ride. We'll try to average 13.5 to 14. Route, distance and speed subject to change depending on the wind. my cell 646-643-6856.
This week we'll head out from Holtsville to Briermere, with a return through Area 51 and Manorville. Along the way we'll visit a couple of Mill Roads. The ride will be about 75 miles, with an option to ride to the end of Route 51 for an additional 6 miles.
While this ride is unstructured, we'll try to keep a group together, as no one likes to ride alone. Faster riders are free to form a group off the front, but we won't go looking for you if you go off course.
We will leave at 9:00 am in search of Bobby, since he hasn't posted anything for Saturday rumors are he is out looking for new routes with Christine.
All kidding aside we will ride to either Smithspoint Beach or Manorville. If someone is totally familiar with the route to Manorville than we will head that way, I am not totally 100% familiar with the route to Manorville but I can definitely handle the route to Smithspoint. We will decide at SSM the final destination. We will average between 14.5-15mph and of course there will be a break mid-way.
Mileage may vary 3-4 miles depending on what route we choose.
Leaving at 2:40 so the wind dies down and the temps are more reasonable. Nice flat 20 miles heading to Cory Beach and Patchogue, so put down the remote, get your ass off the couch and come on out. Park in the lot on the south side of RR (across the street). NOBODY LEFT BEHIND. Any cancellation by 1:30PM. Newbies always welcome. Ride should come in at 10-11.5MPH, depending on wind, tide and riders ability. As always check website for any cancellations due to weather or any other complications the ride leader may occur. WHEELS DOWN AT 2:40 SHARP!
