We will take a break at the Beach and a rest stop at Wertheim about mile 10. Pulls would be appreciated.

Come join us for the East End Ride series, this time with a concentraion on water views and beaches through parts of the Hamptons. We will head out on a journey that includes beautiful riding, amazing vistas, beaches, some incredible homes (and quite a number of absoulte monstrosities), a few dead ends where we can ohh and ahh, a hidden cove and did I mention water views. Weekday Southfork rides, like this one, start at 10:00 AM at the Hampton Bays LIRR train station (there is free parking) to avoid the morning trade parade traffic jam that exists during the morning rush beyond Hampton Bays.
Overall, we will be running much of the ride as more of a tour, enjoying the scenery, surroundings and views; nonetheless, riders should be able to maintain at least 15-16 mph on the flats when necessary (like our interludes on Montauk Highway). Our Hampton riding ends at the East Hampton train station, where we will take the train back to Hampton Bays. Train ride is supposed to be a bit over 30 minutes. Please bring a bungee cord to hang your bike.
We will not be making a stop to buy food during the ride, so, please bring lunch, snacks and sufficient hydration. We will make a few stops where one will have time for a quick snack or sandwich, but we will have an eye to make sure we make our return train. Most importantly bring an upbeat inquisitive attitude ready to explore and discover.
To join the ride or if you have questions, please text Bill Mastro at 917-921-5358. Registraion may have to be limited, as we don't want to overwhelm the train on the return trip. I will share the final (I'm always tweaking) ridewithgps file with those who contact me. Any updates or weather issues will be posted to the ride listing by 7:30 on the day of the ride.
Please call or txt if you plan to join (347-922-3824).
Exploratory trip to Connecticut to check out roads for the 150 mile ride on Aug 22nd. Catching the 7:30am ferry to Bridgeport. We'll ride from Bridgeport to New Haven exploring roads that hug the coastline. While in New Haven, I would like to ride through the campus of Yale University. We'll then continue east for a bit (perhaps to Guilford) and then return to New Haven where we'll catch a Metro North train (similar to LIRR) from New Haven back to Bridgeport.
Pack sufficient nutrition and hydration for the trip, however, I do plan to make stops every 20-25 miles. Bring $$ and/or cc for ferry, train, lunch, etc. R/T ferry is $39 for adult and $28 for seniors (60+). Metro North train is about $4 (one-way).
Parking: Parking in Port Jeff can be challenging. There are a few options but I found a free parking lot off Barnum Ave (cross street in Caroline Ave). Less than 1/4 mile to ferry.
This will be a B- ride. Expect an average between 14.5-14.9 In order to get this average the road speeds will be between 14.5 and 16.5 mph. Going downhill, or with the wind at your back will be faster. The main objective is to finish the ride without being too concerned about the average. The average will depend mainly on the wind, the hills, and who shows up. We will stay together and there will be one or two break-a-ways for those who want. We will take a break at the Beach and a rest stop at Wertheim about mile 10. Pulls would be appreciated.

So, join us for a ride from the Kreb Cycle in Eastport out to Southampton, where we'll have a food stop at the Citarella store.
The pace will be a high B/B+, probably in the high 16 MPH range or low 17s. So, we don't burn anyone out, but we still get back home at a reasonable time.
The route eastbound takes us along the shoreline through Remsenberg, Quogue, Westhampton and Shinnecock to Southampton.
Then, after the food stop, we'll head back west along a more direct route, following Montauk Highway and Old Country Road, back to Eastport.

There are 2 things for sure about this ride: it's scenic and it's hilly. Come out if you want to stretch your climbing muscles. Climb at your own pace, wait ups at the top of each hill. I'm hoping for a C+/B- average, but this will be a 'B' effort. Several scenic gulp and goes with a break at Ralph's Fishing Station. Call if you have any questions. Check the calendar before you leave your home, any changes will be posted by 7:00 am, rain will cancel
A ride to Manorville..... If it doesn't rain. Looking for the average speed to come in the low 17s. Short break to be determined tomorrow. Cross your fingers and keep an eye out for a rain delay or cancellation. The idea is to sneak in some miles between the rain drops.
Friendly "A" paced ride out to the nice Exxon station, where you can get a slice of 7-11 pizza or a hot dog and a Gatoraide (at your own personal expense). Friendly means we will stop for mechanical issues, regroup where needed, and make efferts to ride as a team within the parameters of the A guidlines. This is the short and sweet version of the Firehouse 54. Download the route below.
Weather Bummer! Ronnie will lead this ride! Click "Read More" and see the picture below ;-( ... Ronnie may not do the Panamoka extra but maybe next time for me. Regardless, enjoy the ride and Ride Safely.

Adding a few miles to go around 3/4 of Lake Panamoka with its short rollers. We'll dismount to exit the lake road and get back on the usual route to Panera Bread in Riverhead. A few other changes to the typical route: a new quick break point after Edwards Ave and also exiting Panera in a safer manner, can be exprected.
This time we'll do a slightly changed route, to avoid some of the road work that's going on in the area...
So, lets meet at The Maples lot for a run out to Briermere Farms. We'll head out east through the farmlands, and have a Briermere stop at around 18 miles.
The return run takes us down through Riverhead for a long run up Route 24. Then, for a change, we'll hit Mill Road and take the easy route westbound to the finish. Just watch for cracks and any new road issues as you descend Mill Road!
