Park on the north side of the lot near the brewery.  The brewery is located at 225 West Main St Patchogue.  We will average a 14.5mph pace with cruising speed slightly higher. After the ride for those so inclined the brewery will be open for lunch or tastings. 

We are going out to Netties today. If by chance the weather is "really nice" we can add a few miles to the route otherwise we can stick to the shorter route.

Beautiful fall foliage ride along the Nissequogue River to Short Beach and Long Beach,  then on through Head of the Harbor to Stony Brook for a quick deli stop.

This is a hilly ride, which will be done at a moderate B/B+ effort, actual ride average will be lower due to the climbs.

Group will stay together, with wait-ups as needed on the climbs, mostly for the ride leader.

Route has about 1,800' of climbing.

Smooth Ride, I will mosey along at the posted pace.  We will vote on whether to do north or south route ( rumors of dune road being impassable on EB route are not true). 

One stop .  To remain officially on the ride, you should be within a reasonable distance of the ride leader (me). 

Please check here one hour before start for any changes,

Time change to 09:30am.  There is a chance of showers mid-afternoon.  We will keep an eye on weather conditons, and our fallback will be the deli in Cutchogue, with faster service, if it appears that showers might be coming earlier.  Braun's opens at 11:30, so we can't leave Riverhead any earlier.  Feel free to bring raingear just in case.  If things change, look for Update #2 tomorrow morning. This is a pretty ride, going along the scenic Peconic Bay, than on roads adjoining farms and vineyards.  We will have several restrooms stops, a coffee/tea stop in Cutchogue, and an actual lunch stop at Braun's Sea Food. Braun's has a self-service ordering restaurant, with outdoor picnic tables.  Adjacent to Braun's is scoops and Grinds.  Both restaurants offer soups, and have rest room facilities. Plan your day accordingly, since the ride will go into mid-afternoon.

Please meet us at the Babylon Town docks located on Fire Island Avenue, Babylon.  If you wish to use an address to GPS, please use the address of Babylon Fish and Clam located at 458 Fire Island Avenue, Babylon, NY.  We'll be going there after the ride (optional) for some soup/salad/burger...whatever your heart desires.  The website to review their lunch menu is: https://www.babylonfishandclam.com/

The Babylon Fish and Clam is within walking distance of the town docks...we'll be parked to the right of the entrance overlooking the water.  

The restrooms at the docks may not be opened, so please plan in advance prior to the ride.  I will check around to see if we can use the restroom at the deli if need be.  Otherwise the facilities will be open in Belmont.
