Last week we did this ride with wet and cold conditions, let's see if we can have nicer weather. There will be an option to add on 51 and 111 depending on how smart we are Saturday. That will make for an even 50 miles.
Wait ups when necessary so let's keep it together.
I WILL BE DOING BOBBY'S RIDE, SAME PACE, LENGTH, ROUTE AND STOPS. Hopefully no Rain!
THIS IS HIS DESCRIIPTION WHICH I WILL FOLLOW:
Today’s route to Great River will change up a bit towards the end of the ride, if the wind is in our favor; making this route pretty flat except for 2 overpasses. We will go the usual route heading south using the Connetquot Park bike bath. We’ll work our way down to Heckscher Park, do a loop where one can stretch the legs a bit if desired.
The average pace for this ride will be between 14.5 & 15.0 +/- mph, perhaps in the lower "B" range. The road speed will be between 15 and 16.5 mph, +/-.
We’ll be making a rest stop around mile 19 at the deli/bakery.
Meet at the South Street School for a run out to Briermere Farms, via the northern route. There will be some long flat sections, along with some rolling terrain to keep it interesting.
Since we'll probably hit some windy sections, let's ride like a team and make sure that no one loses the paceline and is left alone in the wind!
And now a word from the sponsors of the Thunderbirds: Thunderbird wine. Who needs that fancy expensive craft beer, when you can have the taste of Thunderbird, for a fraction of the cost! And what you don't drink you can put in your gas tank!
Depending on wind, tide, position of moon and ride leaders disposition we will ride approx. 20ish miles at an 11-11.5 average speed. As always newbies always welcome and NOBODY gets left behind. So get off your butt, and lets ride for some exercise. Cancellation for any reason will be posted by 8:00AM. Anyone for pizza at the rides end?
This ride was posted for Thursday, 9/13/18, but changed to Sunday due to the weather prediction for Thursday. Note also time change to 09:15am.This ride goes along the North Shore of Peconic Bay, into Cutchogue for a short break at Karen's Deli, than off to Nassau Point. There are a series of short hills just before Nassau Point, so if you do not want to do the hills you can hang out at the beach and we will pick you up in a short while on our way back out from Nassau Point. On our return ride we can stop at Scoops and Grinds for a snack, or at the adjoining Braun's Sea Food for chowders or wraps (provided they are open) If they are closed, we can stop at the Cutchogue Diner (open since 1941- real retro) or Karens Deli. For info: contact Bill G. at 631-356-3036. Check the ride calendar the day of the ride for changes, which would be posted by 07:30am.
