Forecast for Sunday looks good with warm temperatures for January, so let's do a pleasant Sunday ride.  

This is a good winter ride as it offers some climbing along the Bethpage bike path in the middle of the ride, but thereafter is relatively flat.  Come join us for a pleasant, scenic and mostly flat ride (other than that long climb in the middle of the ride).  Much, almost half, of the ride will be on bikeways with no motor vehicle traffic with most, but not all, of the rest on quite suburban streets.  Ride meets at the Massapequa LIRR station (on the north side of the station.   The ride is easily accesible by car or LIRR.    Our ride will take us down to the edge of Massapequa and then back on to the Bethpage Bikeway to its end, then on to mostly (but not always) traffic light suburban streets, as we make our way down to other bikeways and inlets before heading back to the start. 

Ride starts a bit later at 10:20 AM to allow the day to warm up.  An LIRR train arrives at 10:20.  The ride is an advanced moderate where we prefer to ride as a group, but we will keep a more gentle winter pace..

Whether we stop at the bagel place or bring lunch will be communicated via email.  Bring snacks and hydration. Most importantly bring an upbeat inquisitive attitude ready to explore.

IMPORTANT REQUIREMENTS: A reminder that you must register for the ride.  Please 'unregister' if you can not make the ride so waited list folks can move up and take the slot.
