We will be doing a route around Holbrook, perhaps a little of Patchogue. I plan on coming in with an average between 13 to 14 mph. In order to get this the road speed will be between 14 and 15 mph. Things could change slightly due to the road conditions and the wind. We will take water breaks as necessary, no food stops. After the ride if you want we can go to the bagel shop and BS for awhile. Help in pulling the ride would be appreciated, but not required.
If you have any questions, or concerns please text me at 631.484.3490. Should there be a cancelation or change it will be posted by 7:45am.
If I don't hear from anyone, I will leave from home -- so please be sure to text that you're coming. My cell: 631-835-1454.
I am still cruising at 13-15, but I must be pretty heavy on the 14/15, as our average has been 13-13.5. The old route through Stony Brook/Setauket. When we get to the hills, take whatever speed, fast or slow, and we'll meet at the top. Expect an average of 13+. No bathroom break, just a snack stop at the lighthouse. Any changes or cancellation will be posted by 8:00 morning of ride. New hill riders welcome.
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.
