Take a tour of some beautiful North Shore scenery (though some have not noticed the scenery).  This is a good chance to get a little hill training in and regulars report that they are getting stronger .   This ride some long flat sections and some long easy gradual satisfying grades both up and down.  There are a couple of steeper climbs but those are short.  We'll be slower than C+B- on some ups and faster down!!  There's nothing to worry about because we'll be patient and take appropriate wait ups as we all try to get into shape!  This is a great way to get some hill practice since most are moderate but a few are more challenging.  After the ride, reward yourself at Little Vincent's for arguably one of Long Islands's best slices - there is some argument about the dificulty of the hills but general consensus that the pizza is good!

Bring $ and snacks.  Pizza is cash only.  There are no food stops during the ride.  There will be quick scenic breaks for snacks with restrooms available.
