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.
For Other Events in our area and off Long Island check out the "Other Rides & Events calendar" and the "Forums"

This is an A- paced ride. Early Birds is a faster ride. It starts at the Manorville King Kullen at 7:30. Our ride at 8:00 should be a brisk pace club ride not the Shoot Out at the OK Corral. If you find yourself pulling above 24 you're probably going too fast.
Alright so it’s ok to take it up a notch if it feels effortless like a tail wind on Dune Rd
It’s not appropriate to take a hard pull up a hill into the wind. We do aim to keep the group together. If a rogue rider is really struggling there is always Dan’s ride to drop back to. Please don’t take pulls that splinter the group.
If you were the one that pulled too hard it would be good for it to be your responsibility to drag those dropped bodies back to the group.
Last week we had a 1/2 dozen riders disconnect from the group that may have been avoided.
Off to Briermere's, with an outdoor picnic area as well as a variety of individual baked goods as well as pies. If 4 or more riders are interested in sharing a pie, we can do that, and share the cost. We pass a Bison farm on the way, if they are in a field near the road, we will stop for a quick look. Ten miles of this ride are on a paved bike trail. Briermere's has indoor restrooms. Check the ride calendar the day of the ride for changes, which would be posted by 07:00am.
Come join me for an 8:15 B/B+ ride up to Briermere and a slice of pie.
We will average between 16 to 17, with cruising between 18 to 20 to get that average.
I will wait-up whenever someone falls behind. No one will be dropped. If you want to join me please text me on my cell, 631-655-7801. Please provide your name, SBRA, cell, and emergency numbers. Any changes to the ride will be posted by 7:00. The ride will be limited to 12 riders, unless a second ride leader signs up and wishes to split the ride. Once accepted onto the ride if you need to cancel for any reason please text me as early as possible.
Same old route from Sayville to Babylon, with lots of traffic lights - so this will be a Local train, not the Express. Let's plan on keeping everyone together: we'll take it easy leaving each station, waiting for everyone to get up to speed before putting on the coals! Also, let's soft pedal after the rises, so everyone can catch back up; show some consideration for the Lanterne Rouge! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanterne_rouge
There will be a short stop at the Babylon docks, before we turn around and hit the track homeward.
Today's’ route to Great River will change up a bit towards the end of the ride - if the wind is in our favor; making this route pretty flat except for 2 overpasses. We will go the usual route heading south using the Connetquot Park bike bath. We’ll work our way down to Heckscher Park, do a loop where one can stretch the legs a bit if desired. Taking turns pulling would be appreciated! I would like to keep the road speed between 15 & 16 mph and come in at an average between 14 and 15.0
This 23-28 mile ride will come in at 12-13mph depending on wind, tide and ride leaders disposition. Restroom 1/2 way through with requested water breaks. Newbies always welcome and well taken care of and no one gets left behind. Any cancellation will be by 7:30am. Destination depends on "winds of the day".
No need to text me, but be there 15-20 minutes ahead of time as I have been known to depart 5 minutes early!
