I added a few more miles and a hill or two so we'll do 1400 feet of climbing. Not too much but if you've been riding on 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 13 mile point in Setauket.
This will be about a 30 mile, B ride to McDonald's in Manorville. Distance and average are heat dependent. PLEASE BE FLEXABLE.
SHORT -- GULP and GO Water stops: 2 going & 1 on way back. MORE IF NEEDED
Pulls appreciated.
THE FINE PRINT, PLEASE NOTE: A fair question that is often asked is what will be the ride's average? This ride is posted as a B; however, recently our averages for previous rides have been in the lower 16s. Why is it posted as a B and not a B/B+? I want the group to realize that the average will be lower (closer to mid 15s) if it is hot, windy, or any rider is having maintaining the higher speeds. I know this is a vague explanation, but it's the best I got. The expectation is that the averge will be in the high 15s to low 16s. Hope this helps. Please text me if you have any questions.
Due to temperature and humidity forecast, the ride is being modified and the total mileage reduced to about 28 miles. Actual mileage will be a game time decision.
A rolling ride with a stop for some of Nettie's wonderful treats.
Given the forecasted temps and humidity and that the ride back is mostly rolling, pace will likely be more to the lower end of C+/B-.
Please bring food you may want or need as well as sufficient hydration. 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. Any updates or weather issues will be posted to the ride listing by 7:00 on the day of the ride.
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.
I'm looking forward to a stress-free ride through the park & I welcome the company :) The restrooms are open in Belmont. I'm not sure if we'll go into Babylon or turn around once the trail ends by Argyle, so please pack a snack and drinks. The mileage may be between 10-12, but I will do my best to get in at least 12 miles. I also suggest bringing bug spray, just in case. FYI..there's an ice cream truck in the park and his soft ice cream is the best.
No need to let me know if you're coming, but please be prepared to leave at 4:30 pm.
Any cancellations/changes will be posted prior to 3:00 p.m. the day of the ride.
