Another variation where we start out as usual but at the traffic circle in Riverhead we go south on Route 104 and make our way to the golf course road. At the end of that road we will have our rest stop at Wildwood Lake, mile 26, before returning. Check out the route below so you will know when to turn, hope to see you there!
Note: check out the ride posting Monday morning, it is supposed to be very cold, if so I may cancel
With the colder temperatures, we'll do a non-stop ride - so we won't cool-down.
The route will take us around the Manorville area, where we will visit some of the rolling hills and grades. The route will include Mill Road and Grumman Boulevard.
So, bundle-up and pack some gels and water bottles, because we'll only be stopping for flats or regroups after the harder sections!
We will be leaving Oakdale RR and head to Bellport and returning to Oakdale for a 29 mile ride. Our food/restroom break will be around mile 16 in Bellport. The ride will be at a (B - pace) with an average speed of around 14.5 mphand road speeds that will reach 16 to 18 mph.

Let's take advantage of the relatively milder temps forecasted for Wed and favorable SW wind. We'll leave from the Speonk LIRR station and head east toward Montauk. We'll ride through Westhampton and take Dune Rd to Hampton Bays. We'll take the scenic roads through Southampton and Bridgehampton (I try to avoid Mtk Hwy as much as possible). I'm not sure how far we'll get but I need to catch the 11:30am train from Montauk that arrives Speonk at 12:46pm. That train makes all local stops to Speonk so we can catch it at Amagansett (11:49am), East Hampton (11:54am), Bridgehampton (12:04pm) or Southampton (12:13pm). Once we get back to Speonk, for those who have time, I'm planning to have a quick lunch at Little Gull Cafe. This little gem is located in the old Speonk LIRR Ticket Office. Park on the east side of the station near the restaurant.
Please bring sufficient hydration/food and $$ for train ticket. Bike permits are no longer required for the LIRR.
Please call or txt if you plan to join (347-922-3824). If there's not enough interest I may change or cancel this ride. Changes will be posted by 7am day of ride.
I will be going slow and skipping all DBDs (Double Black Diamonds); I plan to do most of the BDs that I skipped last time (More On 4 and Wild Turkey) ... I will initially skip BD 1 (the Rt 112 loop) and hope to have time to do it at the end.
Please let me know if you plan to be at the start (I'll wait if necessary) OTHERWISE we may leave the Ride Start early!
If you contact me (631-988-6557) that you plan to join me then I'll contact you directly if there's any changes AND you'll only have to add your signature to the Ride Sign In sheet at the start.
Always check back to my postings before leaving for the ride ... Life Happens and Things Change!

The route rolls around Manorville, before we hit Mill Road and then a quick stop at the gas station. Then we'll time trial down Route 24, before we hit Area 51 and The Hill. After a quick regroup we head down County Road 51 and back to the finish.
Off to Nettie's, with its great choice of baked goods, and now there is also soup with a roll. Nettie's has outdoor tables, and two indoor areas, one of which has a fireplace.

Let's get some miles in, and get home. Expect mostly long straightaways on less traveled roads. Break at Bean and Bagel halfway into the ride. Note start time of 9:30 am. Any changes will be posted by 7:30 am.
Meet at the little community parking lot "behind" Tildas where a playground is next to it.
We stay and work together in team formation and adjust to the pace required for most efficient moving. I'll be happy to advise on safe team style riding.
A few "play" sections at hills and a like, you'll find out, no worries, always regroup rigth after as needed.
Notes on stops/food: try to be self sufficient. But two brief snack and photo stops to eat: At Iron Pier Beach Park, and a quick stop at a nice spot in South James Port/Peconic Bay view. If some one preffers a hot coffee we can also adjust or add a stop on James Port, two options fast or even sit in there.
Note: there may still be a bridge closure (damn bridge) as of construction on the regular route, have a alt route/detour if needed.
The desired route. It just came to my attetion the bridge is completed now!
This is going to be an easy paceline ride to Briermere Farms. We'll take this as a fun no-drop recovery ride.
Outbound takes us on the normal route through the fields, leading to a stop at Briermere at 18 miles. We'll then head back down to Riverhead, where we'll pick-up Route 24 back to River / Old River to the finish.
We will go the usual route heading south using the connetquot park bike path. We'll work our way down to Heckscher Park. I would like to keep the road speeds 15-18 mph and come in at an average 15 and 15.9. Pulls are always Appreciated
We will be leaving the bank heading to Babylon. There will be a break at McDonlds around mile 20. This is a B- ride that will average around 14.5 - 15 mph with road speeds that will reach 16 to 19 mph.
This will be an easy C ride around Center Moriches, that will average 11.6 - 12.1 and we will be taking our break at Nettie's. There are some very nice water views along the way. No one gets dropped and we will be observing spacing rules, etc. Since the exact route will be determined as we go along, there will not be a cue sheet.
