A little faster then Bills TBC @ 17 

RIDE WILL STAY 9AM.

Same ride speed as the last two weeks, but as our average creeps up, I am upping to B-.  IF IT IS AS HOT AS LAST WEEK, CHECK BACK MONDAY EVENING FOR EARLIER START TIME.

We are doing a low B- average, about 15 on the flats and whatever we can manage on the hills.  On hills, it's each cyclist for himself, no need to "keep up" with the leader.  We meet up at the end of our climbs and take a breather/drink as necessary.

B- to the lighthouse in Oldfield and West Meadow Beach.  Rest stop/ bathroom break at the beach

Get your hill practice served many different ways by the hills of the Three Villages.  Our break is at West Meadow Beach; bring your own snack.  Bathroom stop at the beach.  On the non-hills, we expect to cruise at mid B- pace. On the hills, each does his/her own best effort and we meet at the top —  no pressure there. There are spots where faster riders can push ahead.

This morning it might be nice to take a ride through Bellport and Patchogue stopping for a break at Mickey D’s around mile 20. The average pace will be between 14.0 to 15.0 mph depending on the roads, wind direction, dew point, and other conditions. Naturally, the road speed will be higher (15 -17 mph.) to produce the average. Depending on the wind and the route back we might be +/- a mile.

Please check the ride calendar for any weather, or last minute cancellations which will be posted no later than 8:00am if necessary. My cell phone number is 631-484-3490; call or text anytime if you have questions about this ride.

Changes or cancelation will be posted by 2:00pm day of ride.
