| Notes: Pre-TOH, Casual AA ride
In preparation for and to save some legs for the TOH on Sunday, I am scheduling this ride at the casual lower end of the AA pace. We will be cruising on the flats in the low-20s. If anyone wishes to push the pace, we will split the group into two prior to the start of the ride in Bethpage. This is the same route that we used for the MPBC Birthday ride back in May adjusted for the start and return at Bethpage Library. Break is at Prybill Beach and water stop at the Long Island Bagel Cafe in Glen Cove. Please RSVP no later than 7am on Saturday, Sept 21 to: 516.429.7442 Please arrive by 7:45am to ensure an on-time start at 8am. **This ride is open to all MPBC members and those who have not done their trial ride yet. |
