Naturally the road speed will be slightly higher to produce the average. Sure enough, there will be at least 3 places where you can stretch the legs; a paceline is allowed on those leg stretch breaks for those who wish to do so there is no obligation for other riders to do so. When we get back to the parking lot you can grab a bite at Flo’s Lunchenete, where they have umbrellas, tables and chairs before going just another 0.6 miles and 11 feet to the Blue Point Brewery where we can sample/buy the new stuff that is hitting the market.

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 particular event is being run as a 1-Day Session by Joanna Pascucci (our Ride Director) and me for the “More experienced rider, but new to SBRA and group riding.” 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 and any riders from a C level, and up, are welcome. 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. After the discussion portion of the session, we will take a ride: depending on the abilities of the riders in the group, the distance will be between 10 and 25 miles, the pace will be from a C (average of 12-13) up to a B (average of 15-16), and the group will be divided, as necessary. If you have any questions, please contact Joanna at 631-656-0925. PARK ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE TRAIN STATION. Cell phone day of the ride 631-523-2129. PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT for Beginner Riders.
