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 meet up in the municipal parking lot behind the Cutchogue post office. We will have one rest stop on this ride, approximately 25 miles in at Orient Beach State Park (public restrooms and snack bar available).
Start time is earlier as later weather may still be a factor... CHECK the posting before leaving for the ride!
If you plan to do my ride then please contact me by texting to 631-988-6557 ... else I may not wait for the posted Ride Start time if I think I'm going to ride alone.
It will be a SLOW ride up the hills there will be 1500+ feet of climbing. I've posted a C but the effort will be a B+ ;-). I hope the finishing pace may be more like a C+ ride but I will go as slow as necessary for anyone who shows up to suffer with me.
This will be an easy C+ ride around Center Moriches, that will average 11.8 - 12.3, 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 you must 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.
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.
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. At these speeds Pulling is Important ! I would like to keep the road speed between 17 - 19 mph and come in at an average Hi 15 and Lo 16. Cyclists coming with "E" bikes must stay at the end of the bike line. Good stuff after the ride.
With the present weather system, please check this post for any changes on the day of the ride!
Back by popular demand, it's a Thunderbird Ride from Dayton Avenue to Cupsogue Beach. The ride takes us over rolling terrain to Westhampton Beach. Then it's a 4.5 mile run down Dune Road to the Beach, where we'll have our stop.
The return is relatively flat along the waterfront through Remsenberg to Eastport, with a short section of Old Country Road.
We will follow the same route as Howard except, it will be shorter, and slower. I would like to come in between 13.8 and 14 mph +/- a tad. Trying to build up distance and speed so all of us can get back to riding a Low (14.5) B minus. In order to get this average we will be doing road speeds between 14.5 and 16 mph. Expect down hills and wind at your back to be faster. We will take a break at the bagel shop about mile 14. Things could change slightly due to road conditions and wind direction.Pulling is always appreciated. There will be, (hopefully) GOOD STUFF after the ride
