an opportunity to climb some hills as we ride to northport and the copenhagen bakery! b+/a group will be doing the same route so MY b+ group will be your safety net. this is a hilly ride, but doable for all riders, just at a different pace inviting other ride leaders to post rides out of this ride start and customize the route to their liking. OR... create your own hill ride as the north shore does not have a shortage of climbs. parking lot festivities after the ride may include tailgating or a visit to "soul brew". call/msg me with questions or concerns....... https://ridewithgps.com/routes/28885363?privacy_code=Lt9Fl6va5SeA7LCI

Riding Ron's route at a slightly harder pace. We'll try to keep a steady effort that avoids hill top wait-ups and keeps us moving along. We'll stop at the Copenhagen Bakery and have the best fresh pasteries before Ron's group arives. Than we head back to St. James for Ron's Wild Turkey Parking Lot Jubilee. Please check the route posted below-better yet put it on your bike computer for navigation. If there's one ride you don't want to miss; it's this one! Rain and bad weather cancel this ride. Check back before heading out.

Please check back for any changes.

Rolling hills to Sea Cliff=Moved to Sunday when schedule conflict arose

Deli stop in Sea Cliff

No go in rain or very wet/slippery roads. 

Time change! Every degree matters & I'm hoping for some sun. Looks like light winds so that's a plus. I'm so not a fan of the cold, so please bare with me. Riding has been scarce these days. I'm just glad to be in the saddle even if it's chilled. The Sassafras route we do is TBD depending on the groups desires. I may drop the pace to a BB+.  Please check in for any last minute changes.

fun ride to babylon...a loop around the docks, if it's not too cold, then off to bagel shoppe...

Today's’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, or what conditions allow. The road speed will be between 15 and 16.5 mph, or slower if needed for safety concerns.

We’ll be making a rest stop around mile 19 at the deli/bakery. The route back will be determined by the wind direction. Good Stuff after the Ride.  Not sure what good stuff; it's always a surprise.

Any cancellations due to unforeseeable circumstances, or weather related problems will be posted by 8:00am. If you have any questions about this ride, or the start location, please call or text my cell, 631-484-3490. 

Depending on wind, tide and position of moon we will ride approx. 15-20 miles at a 10-11.5 mph pace from Ronk station. Be ready to roll at posted time with water, fully inflated tires and helmet. Newbies always welcome and well taken care of and nobody gets left behind. Be there or be square. Cancellation for any reason will be posted by 9:00am.

Mileage and speed will depend on road and wind conditions and will be adjusted accordingly.  The ride will go along the North shore of Peconic Bay, head up to Cutchogue, and will break for lunch at Braun's Seaford in Cutchogue. Braun's has soups and wraps, and adjacent to Braun's is Scoops and Grinds, if you would prefer coffee or ice cream.  If the winds are relatively calm, mileage could be as high as 37, otherwise as low as 30. Depending on the weather, the ride could be totally changed or cancelled, so you must check the ride calendar. Any changes would be posted by 08:00am.
