Join the Thunderbirds for the first of our Century training rides. These will be some rides to get in shape for the Bloomin' Metric in Connecticut and the SBRA RxR Century. This will be a paceline ride and you should have gotten in some rides already, so you're ready to work-up to the longer distance training rides you'll need to do those big rides. The plan is to ramp-up the distance and speed over the next rides, so we can ride a century at a B/B+ or B+ pace.
Remember: "To finish first, first you must finish!" (-Sir Stirling Moss (?)). So, don't push the pace in the beginning!
This week we'll leave from the Eastport Kreb Cycle, (park in the back section of the lot at the northwest corner).
The route takes us along the middle section of the Century, through the rolling terrain in Westhampton and Hampton Bays. We'll have a food stop at 23 miles at the western end of Southampton at a Goldberg's Bagels. We'll then return back through Quogue and Westhampton on a slightly flatter route.
This 18-24 mile ride will now be on the SOUTH SIDE of the Ronk train station near the Western end of the parking lot closest to Railroad Ave. Bring a snack and hydration. Route depends on riders ability, wind, position of moon and ride leaders disposition. As always newbies always well taken care of and no one gets dropped. Wheels down at posted time as "Daylights A Burnin" so get there 15 minutes before. Any cancellation will be by 8:00am. No need to text me, just "show n go".
