The last time I did this ride was September 2018. I think of it as Richie's Ride as Rich M lead it that day. Here's a picture frm that ride: https://www.sbraweb.org/gallery2/2018/Random-Pictures/Rich_s-SB-Hill-Ride .

It's got about 1100 feet of climbing ... not too sever but I'll feel it as lately I ridden the south shore too often ;-). This will certainly be a change of pace. I'll be glad if we finish with a B pace but it will be a B/B+ effort. Make sure you bring two bottles to hydrate with. Deli stop at the 12 mile point in Setauket.

For this FLAT (maybe 1 or 2 small hills) 20-24 mile ride the Average speed is 11.5-12.5mph depending on riders, wind, tide, position of moon and leaders disposition. Nobody gets left behind and newbies always welcome and well taken care of. Any cancellation will be before 8:00am. No need to text me.

Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the ride start, to allow enough time for me to get everyone signed in and to "get yourself" ready. 

Leave your cares behind and join us for a fun and scenic ride on the beautiful Northfork.  We will head on a journey that includes beautiful riding, amazing vistas, some incredible homes, a series of fun rollers and did I mention water views.  And to top it off, at the end of the ride there will be an option to get ice cream from Magic Fountain.

We will be running the ride somewhat as a tour, enjoying the scenery and views.    

We will not be making a stop to buy lunch during the ride, but there will be a number of stops along the way, so please bring food you may want or need as well as sufficient hydration.  As noted, there is an optional ice cream stop at the end of the ride for those who are interested.  Most importantly bring an upbeat inquisitive attitude ready to explore and discover.
