ows (Page 2)

I usually ride at cedar creek on Sunday's early before it gets too crowded. Anyone plan on being there this week? How about an ocean swim in Long Beach??

I was just saying I might be riding Cedar Creek on Sunday am.  I agree about riding there before it gets  too crowded with kids/families and leisurely riders.  I made the mistake of riding it on Memorial Day weekend!  What a nightmare that was.  

Never swam at Long Beach.  Might be interested but it might be tough for me this weekend (have a lot of other commitments this weekend)  

edited to add: I am not  superfast on the bike though...Don't know how experienced everyone else is...

So its looks like Sunday am bike ride at Cedar Creek?? I can also do an early OWS on Saturday if anyone is interested.

Sunday morning at Cedar Creek- 7am ride?

Funny how a thread titled OWS ended up in a planned group ride...

Still want to do an OWS though.  I might be able to do one Saturday morning early if anyone has any ideas but I need to be back home by 10am.

 

Ok I'm in for the bike ride. Also Saturday morning OWS sounds good just not sure where to go....

I'm back on the fence about Sunken Meadow swimming because it is a big gamble for me to make that drive if it doesn't pan out (which has happened before). 

I just got some intel on Tobay swimming, and would be very happy to meet down there Saturday morning (sunday's still better for me for swimming, but i'll switch it up if it means i get to swim with a group).

Directions:  Meadowbrook or Wantagh Parkway South to Ocean Parkway; go east on Ocean Parkway (from the Wantagh, this means about a 3/4 circle to your left around the clock tower); continue east on Ocean Parkway from the clock tower for approximately 4.2 miles; you will see a sign for Tobay Beach on your left; make a u-turn and the Tobay entrance will be on your right-hand side; there is a restaurant in the parking lot (called the Singleton's Seafood Shack or the Crab Shack); park near the restaurant, and get into your wetsuit in the parking lot (so i was told, but i guess you can suit up on the beach too); walk behind the restaurant to the beach, and hop in.   

here is a link to the restaurant's website where i pulled some of those directions from:  http://www.singletonsseafoodshack.com/index.html

What do you all say?  7:30am?

Just a thought... Would you guys be interested in switching the ride to Saturday am and doing an OWS at Sunken Meadow at 7am on Sunday intstead?  I know that there is supposed to be a group there on Sunday..  If that doesn't work for everyone I can still ride on Sunday and do an OWS on Saturday.  

Tobay on the weekends is impossiable to swim.  Saturday doesnt work for me. Just let me know if your gonna ride at Ceder Creek or swim at Sunken Meadow

OK then why don't we stick to the original plan of riding Cedar Creek on Sunday and maybe those of us who are available on Saturday can set up a swim
 

I am flexible.  I can swim with a group at Sunken Meadow, then I would ride Cedar Creek on Saturday. 

ok then how bout we swim sunday sunken meadow @ 7.  Bring shoes for a short run after if you like.

OK so we are set then- OWS at Sunken Meadow( I just found out that Jose Lopez is running it) on Sunday for a  7am start .   If I have time I will do a short run after.   For those that can do Saturday meet at Cedar creek- first lot on right for a 7am start.

 

ok see you Saturday!

Funny I just read thru the thread and realize that the OWS we are now doing on Sunday is the original swim that aquarunner was talking about...  

I'd like to join up for a ride tomorrow am...who's going, andany beginners besides me?

yes me and eldebi999 will be there tomorrrow morning at 7am!

See you there! Sent  you a PM

It was great riding with those who were able to make it this morning.  Nice to meet you all in person.

See everyone at the OWS tomorrow.

 

How  was the ride?? See you in the morning

Just got word from Jose Lopez that sunken meadow beach is CLOSED  do to run off from all the rain. The swim has been cancelled .
