Well it looks like Sunday is the best weather for the weekend, so let's suit-up for a ride out to Riverhead! The route should keep us working and warm with us staying out of the winds. But as they say, it's all right riding around in the breeze: https://youtu.be/UMVjToYOjbM
The route out will take us along River Road and into the backroads of Riverhead. After a quick stop in Riverhead at around 20 miles, we'll head back along Route 24 for some paceline action. then it's to Grumman Avenue and eventually home.
The plan is to get out and ride, while keeping everyone together. So, this will be a no-drop ride!
