Exploratory trip to Connecticut to check out roads for the 150 mile ride on Aug 22nd. Catching the 7:30am ferry to Bridgeport. We'll ride from Bridgeport to New Haven exploring roads that hug the coastline. While in New Haven, I would like to ride through the campus of Yale University. We'll then continue east for a bit (perhaps to Guilford) and then return to New Haven where we'll catch a Metro North train (similar to LIRR) from New Haven back to Bridgeport.
Pack sufficient nutrition and hydration for the trip, however, I do plan to make stops every 20-25 miles. Bring $$ and/or cc for ferry, train, lunch, etc. R/T ferry is $39 for adult and $28 for seniors (60+). Metro North train is about $4 (one-way).
Parking: Parking in Port Jeff can be challenging. There are a few options but I found a free parking lot off Barnum Ave (cross street in Caroline Ave). Less than 1/4 mile to ferry.
So, join us for a ride from the Kreb Cycle in Eastport out to Southampton, where we'll have a food stop at the Citarella store.
The pace will be a high B/B+, probably in the high 16 MPH range or low 17s. So, we don't burn anyone out, but we still get back home at a reasonable time.
The route eastbound takes us along the shoreline through Remsenberg, Quogue, Westhampton and Shinnecock to Southampton.
Then, after the food stop, we'll head back west along a more direct route, following Montauk Highway and Old Country Road, back to Eastport.
NOTE: Remember to park in the parking lot behind the bike store, in the northwest cormer of the lot.
This will be a B- ride. Expect an average between 14.5-14.9 In order to get this average the road speeds will be between 14.5 and 16.5 mph. Going downhill, or with the wind at your back will be faster. The main objective is to finish the ride without being too concerned about the average. The average will depend mainly on the wind, the hills, and who shows up. We will stay together and there will be one or two break-a-ways for those who want. We will take a break at the Beach and a rest stop at Wertheim about mile 10. Pulls would be appreciated.
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 7:30am.
This C+ ride of 18-25 miles will average 11.5-12.5mph. Bring snack/hydration as route depends on wind, tide, position of moon and ride leaders disposition. Newbies welcome and well taken care of and nobody gets left behind. Any cancellation will be by 8:00am. No need to text, email, phone, send message by carrier pidgeon or smoke signal me. Just show up 15-20 minutes before ride start to get your s**t together.
Today's Mi Tierrita ride will be going to the Beach. The route is mostly flat with a small incline here and there. The average pace for the ride will be between 15 to 15.9 mph, depending on the roads and wind direction. The road speed will be between 16.0 and 17.0 mph. The usual break-a-ways will happen for those who desire. We'll stop along the way for a bathroom break around mile 10. Don’t forget to bring a snack. Do you know what AGUAPANELA is? Come and find out. Pulls are always appreciated.
Take a tour of Smithtown's Beaches and join us for PIzza after the ride. We'll cruise at a B on the flats slow down if needed and slower on the hills! We'll be patient if you are new to hill riding. Restroom/water stops will be available but bring snacks. Park in the rear of the lot across from little Vincents. Pizza is cash only.
