I am posting this ride for the Montauk century. Please read carefully

We will be leaving at 7:00 am
Please arrive at least a half hour early so you can check in at the check in point and park your car.  Warning: Babylon LIRR station has metered parking that is monitored daily.  Please bring change/credit card for meters and make sure your inspection and registration is up to date.  They WILL ticket you.    

If you are taking the train back this is where you need to come back to. Your bikes will be delivered here.
Depending on the traffic you may arrive before the bikes so please wait.
You should buy your ticket before boarding the train to avoid penalty fee.  You can purchase tickets at the station machine using cash/credit card (no ticket window) or use the MTA app called "TrainTime".  If using TrainTime app, please make sure you establish your account well before the ride.  The conductor won't wait for you to establish your account on the train.

At the end of the ride there are plenty of places to eat and relax and you still need to get from town to the train station which is about a mile out of town. You can bring a bag with your clothes if you want to change when you get to Montauk so please make sure your bag can close and has your identification on the outside of the bag. Back pack is ideal for this.
You will give your bag to Amy Olander who will be at the Babylon Train station and will take your bags out to Montauk.
When giving your bikes to be loaded on the truck please remove anything that can easily break such as Garmins, mirrors or lights as SBRA is not responsible for any damage to those types of items even though the bikes are loaded with care!

Pls note that the base Century route does not take you to the lighthouse.  I am providing a Century+ route option (125 miles) that will go out to the lighthouse (photo op), up to Gosman's Dock, around Fort Pond and then we'll take Mtk State Pwy back to Hither Hill before returning to town via Old Mtk Hwy.  Warning: This route will add another 1000 ft of climb to the base Century route which has 1900 ft.  I created this option as a training ride for my upcoming Double Century Attempt ride on June 22nd.  If you would just like to go out to the lighthouse and go straight back to town, it would add just another 12 miles and a few nice hills.      

Last but not least for those of you that are taking the train back, you can try to take your bike on the train.
There is a train at 3:16 pm and 5:19 pm that you can try to make if you don't want to wait for the later train.  Although bikes are permitted on these two trains, the conductor has the ultimate right to limit the number of bikes allowed.  The later train leaves at 7:42 pm but bikes are NOT permitted on this train.

B ride to Montauk. It will be at the low end of the speed range.  2024 SBRA Montauk Century · Ride with GPS

We'll try to cruise abou 15 - 16 mph.

Join us for a B/B+ pace version of the SBRA Century out to Montauk.  This will be a paceline ride and we will likely be riding at a pace at the upper end of the B/B+ range for the beginning of the ride, so that we are not on the road all day. We'll take advantage of (hopefully) a partial tailwind out to around Bridgehampton, where the winds may shift against us.  Then it's time to tough-out the East End winds! Also, we'll take a different route through Bellport to avoid the bad roads.

Some inspiration to keep that cadence up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJdlCowAGQo

We'll do this ride in memory of Al Kelly who designed many of SBRA's favorite routes, and Jessie Newman who ran the SBRA Time Trial twice each year.  We'll also remember Nick Attisano from Twin Forks and Al Swiezy and his ice cream spoon.

To keep everyone together, stronger riders drop it down a gear on the hills, so everyone can keep up. And, if you are not strong on hills, start spinning before the start of the hill and dig hard to keep-up over the hill - then you can take a breather!

To get things going, sign-in with SBRA at the west end of the parking lot, as soon as you arrive.  Grab some goodies and we'll meet-up in the parkng lot and we'll  hit the road at 7:10 AM!   

IF you want to ride with us, text 631-848-2328 and let us know; we can send you our version of the GPS route to your email address if you provide it to us. You can also call the same number (at a normal hour), if you have any questions.

Let's have a fun safe ride, so everyone can celebrate at the Shagwong at the end!  Don't forget to order some Thunderbird!

Allons-y!

Please reach out to me with any questions. You will be getting an email with the Ride with GPS routes so either print it out or put it on your phone or Garmin.

It's a Metric Century ++ because it's a + for the extra 4 miles to reach Montauk town . It's flat and Rolling because of the few hills on Old Montauk Hwy (@ 63.4 miles) when the adrenaline hits!  From that point it will probably every man for him/her self! The other "+" is a MAYBE for riding out to Montauk Point if I have it in me (additional 16 miles)! There are hills east of Montauk town and there's always wind in one direction or the other.

This is NOT a regular ride ... no signup sheets but there is a sign in! If there are more than 10 riders with me then Joe has volunteered to lead a second group ... and if we have more than he's comfortable with we will ask for another Ride Leader.

Please download the ride from Ride With GPS ... I do not plan on leading the entire ride. Riding with a cue sheet can be dangerous unless you stop often to refer to it. I do NOT want riders holding a cue sheet while they ride with my group!

Questions: call me at 631-988-6557

Metric Century

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
