Looking to keep this like a Fondo ride where we ride certain hills hard and the rest of the ride at a moderate pace. The first hill that we ride hard is Little Flower. There will be a wait up at the end. Next, we have a rest stop at the gas station on Edwards and LIE. I have spoken with them and the will have picnic tables set up for us. The next hill that we ride hard is 51. Rather than a full stop, we will have a soft pedal until the group is together. Of course, we will ride 111 hard but keep in mind that the group will stay together or we will have a wait up. The next brief stop will be at the Yaphank Fire House. The last 2 hills, Aston and Carl Hart Hill will also be on the list of riding hard. 

In between the hills, I want to keep a pace that we can all handle. Please check the route before you arrive or download it as I will be looking for other peop;e to help me keep everyone together.

It's

off to Manorville. The average pace for the ride will be between 14.6 to 15.0 mph +/- depending on the roads, wind direction, rider ability or other conditions. Naturally, the road speed will be higher (15 -16.5 mph.) to produce the average. A rest/ food stop at McDonald’s or the bagel shop is on the schedule around mile 16. There are a few places along the route where leg stretches can be done for those who wish to do so. There is no obligation for anyone to do this; you can hang back with me. 

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 or text me anytime if you have questions about the ride. 

After ride we will stop in Maples Bar and thank him for use of his parking lot!
