Looking to find new horizons?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gawfBmCtKeM  Why not join the Thunderbirds for  a ride through Wading River and down through the old Grumman property out to Riverhead?  We'll have a rest stop in Riverhead, before we head back Route 24 and Grumman Boulevard back to South Street.

So, for a change, experience something different from the same old route.  We'll have some rolling terrain and lots of long runs where we can paceline without having to stop every mile for a traffic light. Yes, we'll visit to Fresh Pond, where you can stretch your legs, if you desire.

Love those sleigh bells...and the gearbox.

Allons-y!

Today will be warmer than Sunday so let's go to Manorville. A rest/ food stop at McDonald’s or the bagel shop is on the schedule around mile 13. There are a few places along the route for a break-a-way for those who wish to do so.  Pulling is always appreciated for those who want, but not required. The route we take to Manorville will depend on the wind direction. This will be a B- ride with the average speed between 14.5 & 15.0. Probably twords the lower end, 14.5. Road speed will be between 15 and 16mph. We will keep the final average under 15 since most of us are just getting our legs moving. If the ride is too big we will split it like last week.

Any cancellation due to weather or any other circumstance will be posted no later than 0745 if necessary. If you have question about the ride just text me at 631.484.3490. Eventually my phone and I will meet in a reasonable amount of time...

Usual ride to Manorville rest stop at Dunkin Donuts   

May add a few miles  :)

Text me I'll sign you in  516-680-1052

Off to very scenic Osprey Pointe, with a pier going hundreds of feet out above the water.  Bring snacks and drinks.  On the way we stop at Wertheim National Refuge (mile 7) which has clean porta-potties.  At mile 14 we arrive at Smithpoint County Park for a short break (real bathrooms avilable), than head out to Osprey Pointe. Osprey Pointe has benches, and we will take a break there. At mile 24 we stop at Wertheim again, that return to Bellport.  If anyone wants to pick up snacks on the way, there is a 7-11 just before Smithpoint County Park.  To  join, text Bill G. at 631-356-3036 with your SBRA, emergency and cell numbers, full name and date of ride.  Note: if no texts are received, the ride is cancelled.  Check the ride calendar the day of the ride for changes, which would be posted by 08:00am. If the winds become strong, ride speed will be reduced.

Let's start riding and getting back in shape. We'll do an out and back with a quick break for a snack.
