This ride is 32 miles of pretty flat, going to Coram, plus 4 miles of hills: going UP Ashton, a toughie (wait-ups, no problem) followed by the rollers on West Bartlett and a break at the Springlake Golf Course.

Normally I'd post this for a weekend, but the weather for Saturday isn't looking good and Sunday morning starts with rain.
SO, to preserve my metal health https://youtu.be/9_EzMO27MS0, after studying all the forecasts I've finally decided to post this for Friday at 8:30 AM ...
(Good rhythm for pedaling your bike, or banging your head, eh?)
The details...
1.The pace will be in the middle of the B/B+ range or so, depending on the winds.
2. The course will have us riding a paceline out along Peconic Bay and onto the North Fork through Mattituck where we'll have a quick rest stop. Then it's out to Cutchogue, where we will have a food stop at around 30 miles. Afterwards, we'll ride a little farther east and head north on Bridge Lane up to the farms and Oregon Road. We'lll then start our return back along Peconic Bay, through Riverhead and back to the start.
Ride is cancelled and not rescheduled. Off to scenic Shinnecock Inlet. Rest stops coming and going in Westhampton Beach at miles 10 and 30, and at the Quogue Preserve at around mile 27. Bring snacks and drinks for our stop at the Inlet. Porta-Potties might be out at the Inlet and other spots on Dune Road. There is a bakery and a 7-11 very close to our last Westhampton Beach stop.

Good luck to all the riders headed to PA this weekend.
Today's’ route to Great River will change up a bit towards the end of the ride - if the wind is in our favor; making this route pretty flat except for 2 overpasses. We will go the usual route heading south using the Connetquot Park bike bath. We’ll work our way down to Heckscher Park, do a loop where one can stretch the legs a bit if desired. Pulling is appreciated! I would like to keep the road speed between 17 & 19 mph and come in at an average between 15 and 16. Cyclists coming with "E" bikes must stay at the end of the bike line.
Check back and make sure this ride i still on. Brian has the same ride on Saturday but it's supposed to rain. If he cancels I will lead the same ride on Sunday.
I have just returned from travel and have not ridden since last summer. Therefore, this is going to be a slower ride than usual. We will follow the same route as Howard except it will be shorter, and slower. We are going to take a break at the bagel shop about half way through the ride. I hope to come in with an average between 13 and 14 mph. In order to get this the road speed will be between 14 and 16 mph. Things could change slightly due to the road conditions and the wind.
Help in pulling the ride would be appreciated, but not required. Folks coming with "E" bikes must stay at the end of the bike line.
If you have any questions or concerns please text me at 631.484.3490.
Meet at Mattituck for a scenic ride out on the North Fork. Weather iffy for Saturday so it might be moved to Sunday. Watch this space!
There are no bathrooms at the start but we will stop at Vets beach (1 1/2 miles) to use the facilities.
I have added Nassau point but anyone that wants to avoid those hills can wait at the beach! It will save them 3 miles and 200' of climbing (rolling)
We will stop at a deli in Southold before going to the lighthouse and back along the north shore.
Please let me know you are coming (last time I had to ride it on my own!) Text 631 331 5642. If no-one has texted by Friday evening (or Saturday eve if rained out), I will cancel.
