Come out and join me for the first riding day of 2021 - hopefully the start to a better year!

This will be a C+ ride, with an average of 12.0 - 12.4, depending on the winds, riders, etc. We will ride around Holbrook, back through Ronkonkoma and then around Bohemia, where we will take our break at the Gourmet Bagel Co. (which will be open) on Lakeland Avenue (beverages, food, and a bathroom are available).  We will then head down to Sayville, loop back up to Bohemia, and then head back to the ride start. Adjustments to the route direction and/or distances may be made due to the prevailing winds and/or temperature changes, so there will not be cue sheets. We will be observing spacing rules, etc.

Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the ride start to "get yourself" ready.

NOTE #1: You must be a club member to go on club rides.

NOTE #2: riders at this time are limited. You MUST 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

CHANGE: Start time 10:30 to give the roads a little more time to dry!

This is a C+ ride, which will average 12 - 12.4. No one gets dropped and we will be observing spacing rules, etc. We will ride from Sayville to Oakdale, and then back past Sayville to Patchogue. We will take our break at the Atlantic Ave. Deli. and a bathroom stop will be made on the way to, or from, our break. The exact route will be determined the morning of the ride, so there will not be cue sheets. 

Park on the south side of the train station.

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.

** Parking NOTE: Last week this lot was full and some of us parked on the grass ... a NYS DEC cop stopped and gave us a warning that next time cars parked on the grass will be ticketed. If the lot is full we may move down to the Overton south on Granny Road or park up the street on Paul's Path.

The ride will be mostly Intermediate level but the level maybe changed to B+ depending who contacts me ...  DBD Four More will certainly be skipped. NO ONE gets dropped in the woods.

If I don't hear that someone is showing I may cancel the ride and do a more local trail. If nothing else, please contact me to let me know you plan to be at the ride start.

First time this year! The trail should be dry. I plan to do most of the diamonds including the RR tracks, the half-pipe and the sandpit ... will only skip the boring trail 13. This place has been developed by CLIMB as one of the best technical places on LI. 

This is a DEC site so you may need a parking/access pass.

This ride was originally scheduled from Eastport to Westhampton, but due to the winds and temperature, I am making a change.

CHANGE: The ride is now a Ronkonkoma Loop, where we will have more protection from the wind. Our break will be at the Gourmet Bagel Shop, where a bathroom is available. 

This is a C+ ride, which will average 12.0 - 12.4, depending on the winds, the riders, etc. The exact route will be determined at the start, so there will not be a cue sheet for this ride.
