Century Weekend, Part 2: Bear Mountain Century

Hurricane Henri gave me time to put together a weekend of back-to-back century rides. This is the second of two century rides for the weekend of 8/28.
This is probably one of the most classic century rides you can launch from Manhattan: out to the summit of Bear Mountain and back. The route mostly follows 9W out and back, save a small section where it diverts off to avoid a nasty 9W section near Haverstraw.
I have never done this particular century so I won't speculate how long it will take. Below are planned rest stops:
Mile 26.8: Longer rest stop, Runcible Spoon, Nyack
Mile 42.2: Short water refill stop, Cove Deli, Tomkin's Cove
Mile 62.7: Longer rest stop after Bear Mountain Summit, Cove Deli, Tomkin's Cove
Mile 84.5: Longer rest stop, 9W Market
This is going to be a full day so we do need to keep things moving save for required rest.

Hi Kevin,
I'm a new member, and recovering from surgery; I've recently been cleared to ride, but my endurance isn't quite up to a full century yet. Would it be okay for me to join for only part of the ride? I'd probably stick with you up through the first rest stop and turn back.

Hi Derik,
Certainly! My only caution is that this will be a full and long day for me so I'll need to hold a steady tempo.
