Pre-Thanksgiving Rockland Lake

Ahh it’s time to earn your Turkey guys, but slowly, under the same training philosophy that I described in “Prospect Park Morning Nap Laps 1:2” (http://cfny.cc/ride/prospect-park-morning-nap-laps).

Anyways, now that we’ve placed our CFNY scriptures away, today we’re headed to Boxer Donut, straight up through Rockland Lake, through the quaint town of Congers, across a beautiful lake where we’ll be surrounded by water on all sides (and beat to death by headwinds, crosswinds, tailwinds, and perhaps even one from the fourth dimension), and then straight down through the DEEP backroads of 9W, before reconnecting with the famous road itself at some point just past Kiku.

LOGISTICS:
1. Meet at SB @ 8:20, rolling out at 8:30 sharp
2. Maintain a steady 2.4-2.7 W/kg, yielding a 16mph net ride average
3. Grab food, drinks n chill for ~20-30 mins @ Boxer Donut
4. Hit the lake, the backroads, and back home!

WARNINGS:
1. We plan to stop ONCE today @ Boxer Donut, this is @ mi.18. And with 32 additional miles, we feel this is reasonable consuming 1 bottle per hour. HOWEVER, if general consensus says we take another water stop, there are PLENTY of delis and stores through the backroads on the way back.
2. Having the GPX/TCX on your head unit is merely suggested on this ride due to pace.
