We'll have a slightly lower pace on this ride, so others can join.
In keeping with the Area 51 tradition, we'll do this ride non-stop, except for some regroups.
Time to do some rolling terrain and hills to get ready for the Bloomin' Metric and the RxR Century!

The average pace for the ride will be between 14 to 15.0 mph, depending on the roads and wind direction. The road speed will be between 16.0 and 17.0 mph. The usual break-a-ways will happen for those who desire. We'll stop along the way for a bathroom break around mile 10. Don’t forget to bring a snack. Do you know what AGUAPANELA is? Come and find out. Pulls are appreciate
Forecast is quite good for Thursday, so we are adding this last minute ride to Quogue. Come join us on this scenic, mostly flat and beautiful ride that heads out from the Speonk to Quogue and the surrounding areas. This is a shorter variation of the ride (longer version will be listed later in the season). Please note that we will meet in the parking lot on the east side of Phillips Avenue.
We will not be making a stop to buy lunch during the ride, but there will be a number of stops along the way, so please bring food you may want or need as well as sufficient hydration. Most importantly bring an upbeat inquisitive attitude ready to explore and discover.
To join the ride or if you have questions, please text Bill Mastro at 917-921-5358. I usually send a final ridewithgps file out to those that text me. Any updates or weather issues will be posted to the ride listing by 7:30 on the day of the ride.
The route will be shared later, but expect some additional climbing. Get ready to push yourself and strengthen your legs for our weekly strength-building ride. This will help improve your climbing skills. There will be waitups and Soft Peddles at the top of hills. Cordwood will be included in this ride! I initially rated it as a B+, but be prepared for a possible A-/B+ level of effort.
Please text me by 1pm on the day of the ride to confirm and text you the route.
The SBRA May General Meeting will be held as an "IN PERSON" meeting, on Thursday, May 2nd at 7:00 pm. Please join us for this IN PERSON meeting for a chance to see some of your fellow SBRA members that you may not have seen for a while.
Guest Speaker:
Learn how to become more fit, upgrade your cycling ability, and reach your riding goals by adjusting the time that you spend on your bike.
Come to SBRA’s May meeting to hear a national champion (a certified coach and former teacher) discuss the evolution of aerobic training, learn about current training theory, and to find out how you can reorganize your riding schedule to maximize its training benefits.
Please bring paper and a pencil to this surprisingly easy-to-understand and upbeat workshop as you will leave the meeting with a customized training blueprint.
Pls note route and mileage has changed. Several people have time constraints issues (including me) so I changed the route and shortened the mileage. We should be back by noon. Here's the new route. I'll make one small change on the fly because of a bridge closure. We'll do the Briermere 64 another time.
SSM to Briermere Metric. Route has now been posted. This is part of my B+ Century Training program. We'll ride out to Iron Pier Beach (with Northville tanks along the way) and then stop at Briermere Farm for a quick break before heading back. No one gets dropped. Wait-ups as needed.
Call or txt if you plan to join or if you have any questions (347-922-3824). If I don't hear from anyone, I may cancel ride. Check posting before leaving.
This will be an easy C ride around Center Moriches, that will average 11.5 - 12 and will be taking our break at Nettie's. There are some very nice water views along the way. No one gets dropped and we will be observing spacing rules, etc. Since the exact route will be determined as we go along, there will not be a cue sheet.
The number of riders is limited, so if you want to ride, text me (631-523-2129) with your SBRA Member Number and Emergency Contact phone number. I will respond to your text and let you know if you have a spot on the ride. Once the ride is filled, I will change to post to indicate that.
MEETING LOCATION: straight back from Wendy's and Dunkin Donuts, on the EAST SIDE of the shopping center.
Riders should arrive at least 15 minutes before the ride start, to allow enough time for me to get everyone signed in and to "get yourself" ready
The Intercept and the Breakaway. Looking for a few riders to join me on riding to Brian Tooles Calverton 41 at 9am. This ride to the Ride is about 12 miles. We will then ride Brian's 9am ride the Calverton 41 with the Breakaway happening at David Terry RD (haha My Road) the return to YFH is about 7 miles in return.
Greg Wuest did this on Tuesday and it was very Intriguing to me.
Well let's continue this training series and get to some serious miles: 69. Will we have anyone to run with?...https://youtu.be/4y5Q9fMTWKY
So, we'll leave the Kreb Cycle in Eastport for a paceline ride out to Bridgehampton. The Kreb Cycle parking lot is down an alleyway behind the shop, and remember to park in the northwest corner of the lot!
The routebuilds on the previous rides, but takes us farther East. We'll probably have a food stop at the Citarella in Bridgehampton at around 39 miles, before we turn around and head our way back West. Along the way East, we'll have a rest stop, and we'll slow down if people are getting dropped in the Shinnecock Hills.
It looks like we'll have winds from the East for most of the ride, so maybe we'll have a tailwind to push us home! Since the distance is getting up there, let's put in an extra effort to keep everyone together; there is nothing worse than having to play catch-up when you're tired and sore!
This is going to be the same ride as Bernie and Bill normally do during mid-week. The pace is going to be B- and same route as the B&B ride normally follows. We are not going to push it any faster than B&B would normally do as it is still very early in the season and we are all easing back into riding.
Check the ride calendar day of ride for cancellations. Any Cancellations will be posted by 7:15am
This ride of 12-18 miles is listed as a C- but will go at the pace of the slowest rider which may be higher. Anyone can participate but be aware it may be a SLOW ride. The ride will stop for a break at Nettie's close to the finish of the ride with 2-3 miles back to the start. Keep a eye on this post as ride may cancel or change due to weather conditions which will be posted by 8.30am day of ride. Restrooms available at Lidl.
Extending the miles today. If you are working you way up to the Metric and still have not done longer miles than this is a good start. Heading out to westhampton at a lower B/B+ pace
