Ride from Manorville to Wading River and then do 5 sections of hills. We will regroup after each section.  Also on the way back there is an extra 15 mile optional loop. 

Starting early to beat some of the heat; also trying a new parking spot at the East Moriches Middle School parking lot on Adelaide Ave. This does add a few miles to the ride however. Nice easy pace. Bring beverage and snack; bathrooms at the Quogue Wildlife Refuge.

This is a structured B+ ride down to Dune Rd. Then over Quogue Bridge then head back to Westhampton Bakery for the rest stop

This is my first time leading  this ride. I listed it as flat. However there are two uphill grades, one when we leave the shopping center and the other when we return to the shopping center. The pace is C+/B-. We should average somewhere between 13.5 to 14.2 depending on wind and the newness of the ride to me. We'll stop at the Beach Cafe for a break which is at about mile 14.

It’s off to Manorville. The average pace for the ride will be between 14.8 to 15.0 mph +/ depending on the roads, wind direction and other conditions which could put the ride in the lower part of a "B". 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 are a few places along the route where leg stretches can be done for those who wish.

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 the ride or need directions to the start.

Join me for a ride out to Old Field Lighthouse.  Beautiful ride.

Meet at the parking lot east of Flo's in Bluepoint.  Riding out to Bellport for a quick stop then head back.   No one left behind.  Any cancellations will be posted by 4:00pm please check before you go.

25% is too much of a risk. See you all next week!

StormDamage RoadReport: Drove the route and found 75% roads in "typical" condition,  but 25% have ISSUES ranging from increasing debris to single lane access. The roads are navigable except for 1 section. We must detour past BrangleBrink, stay on 50 Acre and make left onto Moriches. Prepare for increased road tension. We'll definitley speak before the ride to assess our options. Consider this when you decide about riding tonite. Dinner is always an option.

Scenic backroads ride thru the Smithtown-Stonybrook area: historic places, great views, great sunsets, great folks. We are a diverse group out for an good ride and fun nite. Dinner apres ride.
