**Ride Has Changed** Due to special holiday bike restrictions on LIRR for this weekend, the Twin Points ride will be rescheduled for mid-Sept. I am now substituting a 75 mile R/T ride from the Blue Point Brewery to Hampton Bays. Pls note that ride start time and start location have changed.
You MUST pre-register for this ride. Pls call or txt me if you intend to join or if you have questions (347-922-3824).
Ride will take us from Speonk LIRR to Orient Pt using many scenic side roads along the North Fork (avoiding main roads as much as possible). Ride back to Greenport and catch the ferry to SI where we'll ride across the island and catch the south ferry to Sag Harbor. From Sag Harbor we head to East Hampton and then on to Montauk. The plan is to catch the 2:48pm train from Montauk back to Speonk. Pls note there is only ONE train leaving Montauk Fri afternoon so we must make this train, however, there is an option to bailout in East Hampton if someone feels they've had enough (around mile 75). For those who still feel they have more miles left in them, you can start riding back and catch the Mtk train that will make all local stops back to Speonk. Pls make sure you take the schedule with you.
Rest stops approx every 25 miles. Pack hydration, food, cell phone and some $$ (ferry, lunch and train fare). Also, pls make sure you have a backup plan to get home should something happen along the way (mechanical problem, cramping, etc).
This will be another easy, short, and flat ride around Center Moriches. This is a C+ ride, which will average 12.0 - 12.8, and will be taking our break at Nettie's.

SHORT -- GULP and GO Water stops: 2 going & 1 on way back. MORE IF NEEDED
Pulls appreciated.
THE FINE PRINT, PLEASE NOTE: A fair question that is often asked is what will be the ride's average? This ride is posted as a B; however, recently our averages for previous rides have been in the lower 16s. Why is it posted as a B and not a B/B+? I want the group to realize that the average will be lower (closer to mid 15s) if it is hot, windy, or any rider is having maintaining the higher speeds. I know this is a vague explanation, but it's the best I got. The expectation is that the averge will be in the high 15s to low 16s. Hope this helps. Please text me if you have any questions.
Eastport Kreb Ride is ON this Saturday at 8am. It is the normal loop (40 miles) with an extension into Manorville which adds 17 miles. See you Saturday!

Taking the trail East to the end where there is a Bagel Shop, Chinese and great Pizza. After the break it's South and East back to Yaphank. No one gets dropped and Newbies always welcome. The cruising speed will be around 12-13. We'll stay together as a group. Naturally the speed depends on wind, position of moon, tide and ride leaders disposition. Breakaways are always welcome as long as you stop where I tell you to (Darlene). Any cancellations will be by 8am.
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.

This is a very scenic ride with several twists, turns and dead ends, with some long sections where we can go faster.

We will take a ride through Poquott, Strong's Neck, Old Field Lighthouse, Crane's neck and West Meadow.

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.
This route will go Long Beach Boardwalk (BW), Atlantic Beach (BW), Far Rockaway (BW)... then we'll board a NYC Ferry from 108th Street in Far Rockaway and disembark in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. From there we ride along the Belt Parkway Bike Path, under the Verrazano Bridge, then onto some city streets to Nathan's in Coney Island for the official pitstop.
From there... the ride continues through Coney Island, Sheepshead Bay, Belt Parkway Bike Path, over the Marine Bridge, the Far Rockaway Boardwalk from beginning to end, Atlantic Beach Bridge to Long Beach Boardwalk and done.
It's about 40 miles of riding (57 if you count the miles on water).
Although posted as a B+, this will be a somewhat casual ride. The open road pace will be in the 17-18mph range... which will be off-set substantially by much slower riding on boardwalks and some city streets. The bridges are the only hills, but they can make some riders a little shaky. The rest of the route is dead flat.
The only foreseeable complication is the 8-10 bike limit per ferry. It's possible this could hinder my perfect plan, so join this ride open to the possibility of potential changes to the route.
If we have too many riders to fit on the ferry… then we ride straight to Nathan’s and return via Howard Beach back to the Rockaways.
YOU MUST... download the NYC Ferry app and have it set-up with your credit card info ready to go. Let's not have any unnecessary futzing around while you try and buy your ticket. The ride is $2.75 + $1.00 for the bike.
I have no set time frame for how long the ride will take, but we should be back in Long Beach by 3-3:30pm.
Obviously, this is a no drop ride and wait-ups (if necessary) will be no problem. Just bring your best bike handling skills and don't get freaked out by some riding on busy city streets. There is an abundance of restroom options all along the way. Bring plenty of snacks, gels, and water.
I would also strongly recommend bringing one "meal" to eat on the ferry. It'll be the perfect time to eat something substantial to hold you over until Nathan's.
Questions? Concerns? Feel free to text me....
RSVP: Please text me in advance if you plan to come. Include your name and SBRA Member ID and I'll sign you in.

Looks like a nice night for a meander :) We'll do a loop through Heckscher and stop for the restrooms, proceed to Islip Beach and return. We won't be making long stops since sunset will be around 7:00 pm so we'll squeeze in as much as we can before we lose daylight.
Pack a snack (or two) and drink(s), and have lights on your bike.

In that spirit, lets head to the beach, Cupsogue Beach. We'll take the long way 'round, taking County Road 24 and 104, before we head up County Road 31. Then it's through Westhampton Beach to Dune Road and Cupsogue.
After a break at the beach, it's back along the south route through Remsenberg and Eastport.
This will be a controlled B+ paceline ride. The group stays together, except for the round trip along Dune Road, where you can take your own pace. Let's try to ride together like a team, instead of a bunch of Freds trying to out-do each other.
Primary destination is Nettie's, may be Smith's Point or Patchogue, depending on wind direction and force. For this ride the Average speed is 12.5-13mph depending on riders, wind, tide, position of moon and leaders disposition with a distance of 20-26 miles. Nobody gets left behind and newbies always welcome and well taken care of. Any cancellation will be before 8:00am. No need to text me.

This is a scenic tour! of the north fork. Lots of viewpoints along the route. A high B- on the straights but will probably come in mid B- because of all the twists and turns.
No bathroom at the start but will stop at the park a mile away. A break at a deli in Southold (mile 23) Hopefully the Mattituck Magic Fountain ice cream shop will be open at the end of the ride.

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 17 & 19 mph and come in at an average between 15 and 16.0
This a preride of the SBRA cares event. We will be parking at the Yaphank firehouse instead of Southaven County Park. I have ridden about 80% of the route so far, I need to check the last 20% to make sure that it is all clear. Please bear in mind, you are along for the ride to scope things out, there might be some obstacles that are unexpected. I will be going at a slocial pace. Please ride what you are comfortable with, when in doubt, please walk. I am using wide tires, there is sand, single track, double track, dirt, rocks, and pavement. There are a couple of stream crossings in Southaven, but you should not get wet. Mountain, Gravel and Fat Bikes are perfect for this ride, road bikes are not, You will struggle on a few sections with a cross bike.
We will be riding on lots of multi-use trails, we will be considerate of others.
Please take tick precautions, use whatever works for you, bring a spare tube, be sure to have water and a snack or two. No official rest stop, but will stop when needed.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.

We ride out from Bellport to Smith Point following some usual roads, but on the way back detour a bit for a Mastic Meander taking the longer way to Osprey Point with lots of turns. From there we head north, pass by the airport, head to River Road and then up to Yaphank, before heading back south to Bellport. All and all, a neat 40 miles that combines areas with many turns with long stretches of riding.
We will not be making a stop to buy lunch during the ride, but there will be a number of stops along the way, so please bring food you may want or need as well as sufficient hydration. Most importantly bring an upbeat inquisitive attitude ready to explore and discover.
