Hey JoAnn,

Thank you for the info, I was atually looking at the Bethpage park website before and it says that somewhere there is an exit and you can cover 25 miles on a nicely paved road. Maybe that's where we will go this weekend. Last weekend I did my first long ride of 30 miles (well, long for me) and I felt that I had the power to go longer but it started drizzling so we went home. We started from the house also. I am comfortable with being on an open road now so I am excited because now i can ride on some nice routes. Although, I must say the roads are so awful in some places here that I feel like I just went through the worst turbulance on a plane. Anywya, hope you enoy you ride tomorrow, let me know if you found a nice place.

Enjoy
Marina
