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.

Let's put this year behind us with a paceline ride out to Riverhead, and (Ahem!) send it down the Tubes. We'll talk to you later 2021: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-fNfydW8jE
The route will be lightly rolling and we should be out of the wind for most of the route. We'll take a break at around 19 miles and grab a coffee or a bagel in Riverhead. Then it's back via Route 25 and Forge / River Road. We'll keep a controlled pace so that no one gets dropped! Also, we can add a few miles depending on the winds and the group.
So come on out and let's end this year on a happy note!
Note: Overton allows bow hunting until the end of January … I have not seen any hunters parking in their designated spots this year & I ride with a free swing ringing bell; we will be in only ¼ of the Overton trail and I suggest everyone ride with bright clothing.
Not sure of the mileage. We'll start by riding directly out to Dark Side of the Moon & Extension then cross through the sandpit and Rt 112 to Overton. In Overton we'll do the backend of Got 6 Minutes, go thru the Rock Garden (which some may bypass) , BD 3 & 4 (not sure about More On 4 ;-) and then up Overton Road to Sheep Pasture and back out on the front end of Got 6 Minutes. We'll finish GR with Eclipse and White Ghost. If that ain't enough then some may do CR 83 South and North.
I am a slow rider ... we'll work out wait ups for the those who want to ride faster.

RIDE CHANGED TO SAYVILLE (Nettie's is closed for vacation).
This will be an easy, short, and flat ride around Sayville and over to Blue Point. We will average 11.0 - 11.5, and will be taking our break at the new library, where bathrooms and a small Cafe are available. Exact route will be determined as we go along, so no cue sheet.
Please 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.
NOTE #1: You must be a club member to go on club rides.
NOTE #2: I am limiting the number of riders, so youMUST text me with your name & SBRA Member Number if you want to ride. I will return the text: YES, you have a spot…or…NO, Ride Filled...CELL #: 631-523-2129
