Monday B is now Tuesday B to Manorville. It's the beginning of a new season and I am going to try something a little different in terms of the ride's speed. At the beginning of the ride, based on wind speed, I'll state the maximum speed of the ride. If there is little wind, probably a faster B average dipping into low B/B+. If wind is an issue, the pace will be slower. No matter the wind speed, slower up the hills but full speed going down. This is the speed I will ride at depite what others may do.
Stop at Dunkin Donuts. Shared pulls appreciated but not necessary.
Text me if you can, I'll sign you in. 631 804-0751.

The average pace for the ride will be between 14.9 to 15.0 mph +/- depending on the roads, wind direction, rider ability, tailwinds, downhills, break-a-ways and other conditions.All of these conditions could change the final average one way or the other. Naturally, the road speed will be higher (15 -17 mph.) to produce the average.
Any cancellation due to weather, or any other circumstance will be posted no later than 0715 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...
