Suffolk Bicycle Riders Association

Every day in Greater Copenhagen, roughly 500,000 people choose the bicycle, in one of the world's richest countries. Here's some footage of rush hour, Copenhagen style.

I thought that's worse to watch for Americans...

The Early Birds are still starting at 8am till May 1st -- then it is 7:30am -- from King Kullen/Manorville. This is a "historic" SBRA ride, but not officially a club ride as there is no particular ride leader, the riders mostly know each other, know the route, show and go -- however new and experienced riders are welcome to join and give it a try. Typically 55 miles, one brief Deli/Coffee stop about half way and back at the parking after about 2h25 (if there is a big fast group this can happen and we average up to 23mph) but usually it is more around 20..21mph or about 2h40 moving time.

The early morning of Easter day started out with a wet chill in the air and foggy as you see in the movie. Water drops were building up quickly on the lens and also all the rider's glasses. But about half way it stared clearing up and turned into a beautiful day. Back home early enough to enjoy Easter day with family and friends.

Review on the 2009 Whitmore's Landscaping Super Cross Cup Weekend (Event site and Links to results/photos) in Southampton.
Again, a great Cyclocross Event on Long Island with top Elite Riders in the UCI women and men fields, packed with action, speed and a great welcoming atmosphere for riders and spectators. See your self watching the two video clips I cut from some footage and still images I took both days. I tried to catch key sections in still and video sequences in the order of riders encountering them on there laps. Starting out with a flat road sprint, moving over grass, climbing a few challenging steep, short and off-camber grassy turns, hitting part sandy single track in the woods and some enforced dismounts overcoming obstacles sections running -- all within one lap out of about 10..15 laps.

Update on Early Birds changing to Winter Route named "Trevor's": Starting Sunday November 1st 2009, leaving 8:30am (the fast group, some A+/AA) -- and -- at all A riders, please come along for the 15min earlier (8:15am) start (easier A group), from Port Jefferson Station at "Bagels and a Hole Lot More" on Rt 112 one block north of Rt 347.

NOTE: This is only a informal update, this is not a official SBRA club ride.

...What a beautiful day for the last ride of "The Birds" today! Just a small group, but nice ride. Photo: Coffee stop at the Cutchogue Deli. Read more and watch a A+..AA pace video of Trevors ride...

Do you enjoy the more brisk days of riding and watching the beautiful colors of fall? Just dress right to match your riding level -- faster = less is better, just to stay warm and protect yourself from wind. You know you are perfectly dressed if you feel a bit chilly for the first few miles until warmed up!

Enjoy a few recent photos off fall weather riding. Here on left, high up in Connecticut on John&Py's 4th annual TOSREC.

Update: New RP2IPBP ride fall season start time from October is 9am.

What a beautiful day for Py's RP2IPBP ride, a chilly morning. A good sized group found together at Tildas last Saturday, Rocky Point (RP) and rolled out promptly by 8am with the chime of a close by clock tower -- one rider showed up just last minute as we almost attempted to cross the road at Tildas -- little chatting and off we go....
