NOTE:
Under the Ride Level details, the "Type: Road Bike" refers to the ride will be on paved roads (rather then off road trails). Although a Road Bike is suggested for Road Bike Type rides it is not required. Hybrid and mountain bikes can be used on these rides as well provided you are comfortable with the pace outline in the Posted Ride. This ride calendar is for club rides, club meetings, club event posts and shop rides only.

Leave the Holtsville Ecology Site for some more B+ Century training fun. We'll, (gulp!), up the distance to 48 miles this time. We'll head out to the Manorville bagel shop, with a visit to Mill Road along the way.
I plan on keeping a true B+ pace, without any hard accelerations. Those that want to ride faster are welcome to get off the front, but I want to do the distance, so I won't be doing any chasing.
Take 2 on this training ride. We did not do this course last week due to the wind and headed into the other direction. We will head down to Smith Point Park and hopefully enjoy a few rays of sun. The past few training rides we have been coming in at an average of 12.5. If the wind cooperates we will try to bump this up a notch but we will gauge the group before. We will pick up the pace during the straights 14 - 16 mph (cruising speed). We can grab a snack or lunch from the deli or 7-11 and then head to the beach. Fingers crossed for a good day.
Please check back by 7 am for any changes or cancellations due to possible weather issues. Any questions please feel free to call or text my cell.
Refreshments / Coffee stop at Jamesport Duffys Deli, brief stop/reassembly as needed at IPBP and other key locations. [/][/b]
as marked -- good B+ riders are welcome to give it a try! Promise no one getting dropped or lost -- waiting up at key points as necessary.
Looking for a good base level A (but up to A+, AA at times possible with wait-ups as needed) pace. No one is getting dropped.
In general I want to see this smooth super efficient team effort to optimize time!!!
Ride Participants (arrive 10..20 minutes before ride start time)
It’s off to Manorville. The average pace for the ride will be between 14.0 to 15.0 mph; perhaps a tad higher or lower depending on the roads, wind direction and other conditions. Naturally, the road speed will be higher (15 -17 mph.) to produce the average. A rest/ food stop at McDonald’s or the bagel shop is on the schedule around mile 12. There will be some leg stretches along the way for those who feel the need.
Please check the ride calendar for any weather, or last minute cancellations which will be posted no later than 8:00AM if necessary. My cell number is 631.484.3490; call anytime if you have questions about the ride or need directions to the start.
Today is our longest ride so far for the Century Training. We will be starting in Holtsville and going out to Manorville. We are still at a B pace but getting stronger ever week. We will stop in Manorville for a food break and then head back. Hopefully our beautiful weather will hold up.
Check for update the morning of the ride.
Late start for Century training. We'll go to Quogue via Westhampton. Average around 13. If everyone feels good we may add a loop at the end to give us 40 miles. No pressure ride. My cell 646-643-6856
