Please join us to check out the newly opened extension of the The Jones Beach Bike Path (Ellen Farrant Memorial Bikeway). We'll park along South Cedar Street, where there's an entrance to Cedar Creek Park. This bikeway parallels the Wantagh Parkway from Cedar Creek Park to Tobay Beach. This ride will be approximately 24 miles (round trip). Bring a healthy snack if you wish...but be advised there will be at least two riders (who shall remain nameless), that already have plans for stopping for a hot dog (or two) at one of the refreshment stands!
If you're not doing BBB, this will be a nice bike ride to get some sunshine and have some fun at the beach!
I'm including a link to check out the park information (just remember that the directions to the park listed on the website will bring you to the main entrance and you will be charged the parking fee).
Ride out to Rocky Point and back to Stony Brook avoiding the hills of the North Shore. Relatively flat ride other than the hill going up to the railroad station on 25A in Stony Brook. Sheep Pasture Road is part of the ride also, but everyone seems to love riding that.
I thought I'd post a **Mellow*** recovery ride for the day after Bike-Boat-Bike. We'll do an easy spin into the Pine Barrens and take it easy on the legs. Option for a few additional miles.
Thanks for the nice posting by Pat B. to all the ride leaders...
I tend to be long winded so click "read more" on the bottom for the entire post. - How about coffee and a little exercise for the BBB volunteers who couldn't ride Sunday?
All AM Coffee rides whether a “B” or “B-“ride will work like this. All rides will be around 15 miles unless indicated differently in the description; check the average pace. I have put together several routes, choosing one in the morning which hopefully will put the wind at our backs during the return trip.
We will stop for coffee and a bathroom about half way, or closer to the end of the ride. Coffee locations will be a deli, 7-11, Mickey D’s, Wendy’s, or a bagel shop. The average pace for the ride will be between 14.8 and 15.3 mph. The road speed will be slightly higher to produce the average. No one will be dropped.

With sunset at 8:19pm bright colored clothing and bicycle lighting, front and back, are highly recommended.

A NO PRESSURE ride to Poquott, Strongs Neck, Old Field and West Meadow. We wait for everyone on all hills. No one will get dropped or feel pressure to keep hammering on those pedals. The first eight miles are all practically downhill. We have also found a very easy route out of West Meadow and back to Marshalls without too much effort or climbing.
No real place to get food on this route. Water can be refilled at West Meadow and we can make an emergency bathroom stop at the Seaport Deli in Setauket if you feel the need.
I thought I would change it up a bit for this Wednesday’s ride and go to Middle Island. The average pace for the ride will be between 14.5 and 15.0 mph depending on the wind direction and other factors. There are a few places along the route where one can stretch the legs if needed.

The ride will be a higher B pace but we will all stay together as a group. Please check for any changes the night before and the morning of the ride.
This ride will hopefully give you a taste of riding a bike path ... you'll understand why I love riding on the 42 mile W&OD in VA ... unfortunately we'll only do the 6+ miles on the path but there are "NO CAR BACKs!!" ... there are some road crossings and even a few small hills. The rest of the miles will be done in Stonybrook and Mt. Sinai/ Miller Place. Someday we'll be able to ride to Wading River with < 1 mile on the road. Hope we don't have to wait too long. This ride will be a moderate to strong B if you stay with the Ride Leader.
Since we had an enjoyable ride on Jones Beach bike path to Tobay Beach last weekend...we decided to do it again! We'll be riding to Tobay Beach (to use restrooms) then ride back to Jones Beach for an extended break. Please plan to stay on Jones Beach for approximately two (2) hours. This will give everyone time to relax and enjoy the beach before re-grouping and heading back to Cedar Creek Park. I realize this is a busy time of year, but since we're already at the beach...let's enjoy! This ride is being posted for everyone's enjoyment and to have fun without worrying about time constraints. In the event you can't stay on the beach, you'll have the option of returning on your own since the bike path is a direct safe route. In which case, please let me or the sweep know your intention the day of the ride. I hope you chose to relax and enjoy kicking back on the beach, taking a walk, enjoying a bite to eat (concession stands are open) or finding some shade to enjoy the ocean breeze!
If you're staying on the beach, please be sure to bring a bike lock since we're not permitted to ride our bikes on the boardwalk. When packing your items, please remember that we'll be riding to Tobay Beach first, so you might want to consider carrying a light backpack to bring a towel (or sheet), sunscreen, sandals and bug spray.
This will be an enjoyable, relaxing ride...no one will be dropped.

Wait ups at the top of all of the climbs. Come join us, you'll be glad you did. Group to remain together as a group throughout the entire ride. Therefore, it will be a group ride.

Cheez Whiz is one of a number of "processed cheese foods", a category including some types of individually wrapped cheese slices. These products contain regular cheese that has been reprocessed along with additional ingredients such as emulsifiers and stabilizing agents, such as xanthan gum or carrageenan. These products derive their tanginess and flavor from additional ingredients such as citric acid and flavoring compounds. Annatto is used for coloring. Yummy!!!

This ride is part of the new “Special Ride Series” (SRS), and is designed to better assist new people who wish to ride with SBRA.

This ride will emphasize rider safety, SBRA club rules, basic bike mechanics and a number of things which are very important when riding in a group. This is for everyone who has not been on a group ride. Please make sure you have a working bike, a helmet (required on all club rides), water or a sports drink that fits in a bike cage and will not fall out.

We'll ride to Webby's beach and stop for some views on the way. Any bike welcome, but It will be my first ride on the cruiser bike I rescued from total rust out!
This ride is mostly flat. Depending on the group, wind, etc., pace may come in at low B- (no more than 13.3). Bring water and snack to take our break at the Quogue Wildlife Refuge. Cell phone 516-330-1542.
Ride out to the McD's in Center Moriches. Food/rest stop around mile 14. Cue sheets will be available. Please arrive at least 15 minutes ahead of time, I will not hold up the ride for those not ready to roll out at 9:00. Cancellation for any reason will be posted no later than 7:30 on Monday.
See the many beaches of this Southold Hamlet on mostly tree shaded and lightly traveled roads.
Late deli picnic lunch at Founders Landing.
Please bring pocket food.
