Back to the original Bablylon.

Possible Farmer's Market twist.

fun ride to babylon...a loop around the docks, if it's not too cold, then off to bagel shoppe...

We can add a few miles, if we want, by going up 51 and 111 instead of 24 and Mill Road.

Today's’s route to Great River will change up a bit towards the end of the ride, if the wind is in our favor; making this route pretty flat except for 2 overpasses. We will go the usual route heading south using the Connetquot Park bike bath. We’ll work our way down to Heckscher Park, do a loop where one can stretch the legs a bit if desired.

The average pace for this ride will be between 14.5 & 15.0  +/- mph, or what conditions allow. The road speed will be between 15 and 16.5 mph, or slower if needed for safety concerns.

We’ll be making a rest stop around mile 19 at the deli/bakery. The route back will be determined by the wind direction. Good Stuff after the Ride.  Not sure what good stuff; it's always a surprise.

Any cancellations due to unforeseeable circumstances, or weather related problems will be posted by 8:00am. If you have any questions about this ride, or the start location, please call or text my cell, 631-484-3490. 

Saturday 4pm:  Am watching this weather system that's supposed move through quickly tonight.  If roads are still soaked early a.m., I will push this ride to late morning and let things dry out.   Check back here by 8:15am Sunday for updates...will see what the morning skies bring!

We'll travel scenic backroads thru the Stonybrook-Setauket area.  For those familiar with the Wed Nite Roller Coaster, this will be some of that route but we'll start by heading up Lower Sheep Pasture and come out over near Poquott.  Will pick up the route in Setauket with a shortened route in Strong's Neck, then on to Old Field and West Meadow.  There are hills, so the pace indicates that...there are places to stretch your legs ahead and wait ups after climbs.  But please note this is not a "race ride".   Soup or Green Cactus is an option for lunch after, if there is interest.

Brings snacks/water as our break will be on the route in Old Field and West Meadow.  Bathrooms in Setauket if needed and at West Meadow (port-o-potty).

Check back here by 7:30am Sunday for updates.
