This hill ride is inspired by some great local hill climbers. The idea is to go out early to beat the heat and ride steady to keep together. Waitups where needed. This is a complex route so please become familiar and/or put it on your bike GPS unit. Remember when you are up front pulling "you" are the ride leader of the moment and you want to know where the next turn is. Don't rely on others for directions, thats why the route is posted.
Join Brenda and me for a morning ride from Sayville to Bellport, where we'll stop at the Bellport dock to view the Great South Bay. Either bring a snack or you may purchase something in Bellport on the way to the dock.
This is a structured C+/B- ride which will average 13.0 - 13.6, depending on wind, riders, etc. There will be cue sheets and no one will be dropped.
