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.

Looks like rain on Sunday so I am posting a longer ride. Cruising speed of 21-22. Final average about 20. If a faster group shows up they can go ahead, don't ruin this ride!
This week things get interesting: The mileage will be in the 80s, so plan on eating and hydrating while we ride. We don't want anyone bonking on the ride!
AND, we start at 8:00 AM to get those miles in...
The route will hit Briermere for a short stop, before heading south to the Shinnecock Hills and Southampton, with a return along the south shore.
Since this distance will be unknown territory for some riders, let's keep the pace in control! Pace hijacking will be STRONGLY discouraged on this ride! The plan is to ride this like a team, working together!
B/B+, 70 mile, Century Training Ride. Depending on weather conditions, I may make this ride longer, since we are getting very close to the century. I will update the post if there are any changes, so please check back prior to the ride.
This will be a paceline ride.
If you are planning to do the century with this group of riders, please try to hop aboard one of the training rides. I think it is important to practice riding as a group when doing a ride this long.
This Saturday the weather is supposed to be perfect so let's get out somewhat earlier for a nice bike ride and a cholesterol free breakfast at the babylon docks. If by chance you do order eggs at the deli I assure you we will work off any of the cholesterol on the way back. But seriously it should be a nice ride we will average road speed of 15-17 so that we can come in at a average of 14.5-15. No one should or will be dropped as I have been successful in swaying one of our clubs tops sweeps over to this ride instead of a 70-plus ride.
Please park on the south side of the Oakdale Railroad Station closest to Montauk Highway.
This is a very scenic ride through Eastport, Remsenburg, Westhampton Beach, and a tad further East. The average pace will be between 14.3 and 15.0 mph. depending on the wind and other factors the ride could come in slightly higher or lower. Road speed will be between 14.5 & 16.5 mph. The wind direction will determine the route to be taken. We‘ll be using Dune road as part of the route going either westbound or eastbound depending on the wind direction. If the wind doesn’t cooperate we'll use an inland route, which is just as nice. There will be some spots (Dune Road) where one can stretch the legs if desired.
We’ll make a rest/food stop at Tully’s around mile 23 for some great clam chowder, eggs, coffee or whatever... After that, the second stop will be at the Beach bakery; you know what that’s about. From there we go another 7 miles arriving back at the start.
Please check the ride calendar for any weather, or last minute cancellations which will be posted no later than 7:15 am if necessary. My cell phone# is 631.484.3490; call or text anytime if you have questions about this ride or need directions to the start.
This ride is part of our “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 me, with the assistance of John Bambach, 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. If you are either new to group riding or have not been on an SBRA group ride, this is a training event you should take advantage of. Please make sure you have a working bike, a helmet (required on all club rides), a spare tube (in case you get a flat), and 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 ability of the riders in attendance. It may be 10-15 miles at a C pace, or 20-25 miles at a C+/B- (or faster) pace, or one of each distance & pace.
FYI - Today this is being offered on a Saturday, but within a few weeks it will also be offered on a Sunday.
If you have any questions, please contact me at home at (631) 471-2129.
Depending on wind, tide, position of moon and ride leaders disposition we will ride approx. 17-20 miles at an 11-11.5 average speed. As always newbies always welcome and NOBODY gets left behind. So get off your butt, and lets ride for some exercise. Cancellation for any reason will be posted by 9:00AM. Snacks at the rides end?
Neil & Leslie at Campus bike, NYBC & Cathy, join forces to host a safety informative ride. We obey ALL traffic laws, (YES including stopping at stop signs) and all SBRA rules. I have come to learn and understand they are created for our protection and enjoyment. We will ride the beautiful north shore and head east through Mt. Sinai to Wading River on the flats. Not crazy hills but some. Wait ups. Other ride leaders please fell free to post different paces. Light refreshments served ( as they last & contributions welcome) after the ride.
