...But, if you try sometimes, you'll get what you need!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef9QnZVpVd8 (rare clip!).

You'll get just a few traffic lights, wider shoulders, less-traveled roads and some nice countryside on this ride!  And you'll get to pedal more with fewer stops...just what you need!

The course this week will be a little flatter, and we'll use some of the more sheltered roads to get out of the winds, IF there are any winds. The pace will drop this week to a B/B+  since we are expecting some riders new to the route, but it will still be a paceline ride. We'll head out through the fields to Briemere Farms where at around 19 miles, we'll make a rest and scone break.  The return takes us through Riverhead and to the backroads back to Manorville. Stronger riders can take longer pulls into the wind, but keep the pace in control!
