This will be the original route from Oakdale but want to take it to Bellport so it is a little bit longer than what the first ride was going to be. We can gauge the group when we get to Patchogue and make a decision. If we make it to Bellport there will be a deli stop, if not make sure you have snacks on hand. Any cancellations will be posted by 7 am. Please arrive 1/2 early so that we can roll out at 9.

This will be the first training ride for the full century. This group will be for those who are not experienced riders looking to do the century and for those who haven't been on the bike for quite awhile (like myself) looking to get moving at a slow pace. My goal will be to get the group up to riding a high B-/low B pace for the day of the century. I plan on having these training rides on Saturdays and the start time will get earlier as the training goes on to accommodate the longer miles. As the weather is unpredictable and the roads are not in the best of condition, I will post any cancellations at least 2 - 3 hours prior to the start time so it is imperative that you check back for any changes. If a Saturday training is cancelled I will do my best to move it to Sunday if my schedule and weather allows. Please be prepared with proper water bottles, snacks and extra tubes (just in case). I will be keeping the first few training rides on very flat roads as possible. Most the routes will be roads used for the century. About half way into the training we will start to go out of the ecology center which will be a bit hillier.

If you have any questions regarding this ride, the century or have just general questions, please feel free to contact me on my cell. Think Spring!!!!
