It's been a whole winter since I last did this ride. Is Bayville still there? Let's find out. This is a nice little ride, some climbing, but not too much and not too steep, from Westbury LIRR (9:35 am trains from both Atlantic Terminal and Penn Station arriving at 10:25, if coming from Atlantic, change at Jamaica) to Centre Island and back. We'll wend our way through some nice wooded sections, by some fancy houses and a bit of beach. Oh and we'll wave at Billy Joel's house or at least his front gate. Some digressions where we will go off the well-wheeled route for a bit of a change, and a pizza stop for lunch in Bayville where one can eat inside. Or if you are impervious to cold you can bring your lunch and eat outside. This is an advanced moderate ride but the beginning of the season, we'll be doing 14mph on the flats. 

Bring water, spare tube, method of inflation, snacks and layers as the weather is changeable these days. Covid Restrictions apply. I will email the route and start location the day before. If you sign up and but can't make it please unregister so those on the waiting list, if there is one, can get on.

Weather being weather and winter being winter, please be advised that I'll cancel if it looks like it's going to be too cold or wet to be fun. I'll make that call the day before the ride.
