Ride may change depending on wind and road conditions. Strong winds after 12:00 would slow the ride and possibly reduce mileage. Destination could be Bean and Bagel. Ride is on. Off to Nettie's, for their great treats and rolls, and wonderfull outdoor eating areas. We will ride thru Calverton and Manorville on our way to and from Nettie's. Some of the riding might be on the Grumman Trail. To join this ride, text Bill G. at 631-356-3036, with your SBRA, emergency and cell numbers, full name and date of ride. This ride was originally scheduled for 9:30 but has been changed to 10:00. Check the ride calendar the day of the ride for changes, which would be posted by 08:15am.
But, don't worry, we'll be back long before sunset and the night creatures!
The route will include Mill Road and Grumman Boulevard, with wait-ups after the hard sections. We'll do some paceline work, a little climbing and have some fun!
We'll keep the pace in control, so we can save some energy for Saturday's ride.
Plan to arrive a little early as the lot will fill fast this weekend; If the lot is filled when you get there ... drive down to Whiskey Road, head west and park at the small lot at the end of the field or on the north shoulder ... avoid parking in the community on the south side of Whiskey Road.
You need a DEC Access/Parking pass to ride in Rocky. To my knowledge there was not much checking last year but the early part of the season is more likely to be when they check your front windshield for parking.
As usual I'll be the Ride Organizer and not the lead rider depending on who shows. I plan to skip the west side loop. Regardless of your ability you can always hang with me as I'm slower than lots of faster riders. We'll skip some of the Black Diamonds. SBRA insurance requires that Mtn Bike riders MUST sign a Ride Sign In sheet for each Mtn Bike ride.
PLEASE text [631-988-6557]/email me at [nsamuels@ optonline.net] include your name, SBRA #, EMERGENCY # and your cell #. I will fill out the Ride Sign In sheet and you will only have to sign it.
Leaving the South Street School we will ride up through Wading River, hitting Fresh Pond Road, before riding through the old Grumman property on our way to Riverhead via Route 24. After a short break at the McDonald's, it's onward and upward through the Land of the Dimpled Ball. Then it's Pete's request, the Hill in Area 51! After a regroup we'll run down through Area 51 and eventually back to South Street.
So, save some energy for the second half of the ride where the hills come in. And we'll regroup after any difficult sections, so that everyone can ride with the group in the paceline.

This is the first time I am posting for the season so this I really don't know what to expect as far what the pace will be like. I am thinking it will be on the lower end of the B/B+ range so anywhere from 16 to 16.5 MPH... Please find a faster ride if your intent is to go beyond that range. We will all stay together on this ride and I expect all to take turns up front. We will be stopping in Manorville for a break. If you are just starting to ride again this is the ride for you!
Do me a favor and text me to let me know you are coming.631-747-3464
