If you are a Marshal or you have signed up, come join me for the Cops Who Care Ride. We'll ride there do the 50 mile hill ride and ride back to Rocky Point. Call if you have questions.

Starting in Selden, we'll ride down 11 miles to Rich's Sayville to Babylon ride of 40 miles (also a B/B+) which starts at 9 AM. With the return trip the distance will be 62 miles. If you're planning to do the RR Century and haven't done more than 50 miles in one day then come along for this "training ride". Only two more weekends until the Century. Check back to this posting on Saturday night as things in life tend to change.

More miles to train for the Century which will be in two weeks. This is just about the straightest route I could make from Sayville to Westhampton. No extra loops on this route. We will be on Middle Road, South Country Road, Victory, Montauk Highway, Frowein and South Country Road in Remsenburg. Lunch stop at the Westhampton Beach Bakery. Easy B- pace. No one gets dropped. We should come in at 14 mph average if there is not too much wind. High cruising speed will be 16 to 17 mph.

Short 20 ride at around 16.5mph.
Pace line out to north road and back

Route still TBD but it will probably include 2 short snack/rest stops, one in Manorville and the other at the Beach Bakery in Westhampton Beach. We'll try to finish in the middle of the B- range ( 14.5 ), subject as always to the wind direction and speed. Please do not attempt this ride if you haven't completed at least 1 or 2 rides of 40+ miles this season. If the forecast for Sunday changes between now and Friday the ride may be moved up to Saturday, be sure to check the Ride Calendar later in the week for any updates.

This is a Multi-Club ride to Kings Point. It is being organized mostly by Lisa V. from HBC and invitations have been extended to all the local clubs.

SBRA members.... you are now officially invited!

The route is a good mix of hills and flats. You can expect about 2800 ft of climbing including Beacon Hill as we head into Pt Washington. On the scale of difficulty, it will be similar to the Brands Ride or Ron's Turkey Ride.

Here's a link to see the route and to download Garmin files:

The route has a lot of turns, so there will be wait-ups as needed so no one gets lost. There will be a deli stop half way in Great Neck.

If you want an advance cue sheet... email me: MailboxOne at aol.com

We will be riding my longest and hilliest ride so far this year. The pace may become whatever the group needs to ride at. Wait ups as needed. Bring $$$ for snacks all along the route. It is a pretty route. We will "Nosh" in West Hampton at the famous West Hampton bakery.

Hope to see you there.

How about taking a ride to Great River today? We will go the usual route through Connetquot Park and then do a loop in Heckscher Park where one can stretch the legs a bit. The route is mostly flat with 2 little hills; maybe 3. The average pace for this ride will be between 14.3 & 15.0 mph, depending on the wind and other factors it could be a tad higher. The road speed will be 15-17 mph to produce the average. We will be making a deli/rest stop somewhere between miles 18 and 20. PARKING NOTE: If the usual spots are filled please park on the far WEST side of the bank parking lot.
