The weekend is best for this place as getting there is not a bad commute. First time this year so it may seem like a little exploring.

We'll limit the BDs but include the long half pipe and the climb up to and along the old RR tracks. Will try to save enough energy to do #13 loop. The pace will be slow but the technical aspect of riding planned for this venue is Intermediate to Advanced. 

Here's a link to the map on the CLIMB website: https://climbonline.org/2014j/pdf/maps/Edgewood_Preserve_1016.pdf

A true B+ average 17.5

Time for the Thunderbirds to take flight out to Briermere Farms, for a ride to sing about.  We'll stop there at around 16 miles for a snack.

We'll return back via Middle Road and Deep Hole, so that should let us shelter our feathers from the winds.

The route can be changed depending on the weather and the group...

Friendly group ride

This morning it might be nice to take a ride through Bellport and Patchogue stopping for a break at Mickey D’s around mile 20. The average pace will be between 14.0 to 15.0 mph. Since I just returned from an 81 day vacation; the average will probably come in at the lower end. Naturally, this will depend on the weather, wind direction and the road conditions. Depending on the wind, and the route back we might be +/- a mile.

This is a funny time of the year, with unpredictable weather and winds; I will try to pick roads that work out best for the current day’s condition. Be prepared for route changes at the last minute which will be beneficial for you, and the ride. With that being said please check the ride calendar for any weather, or last minute cancellations which will be posted no later than 8:00am if necessary. My cell phone number is 631-484-3490; call or text anytime if you have questions about this ride.

Riding the Belmont trail down to the Babylon docks where we take a break before heading back.

Please check the ride calendar for any weather, or last minute cancellation.

Still fighting this sinus infection, but hope to be a-ok by Saturday.

so come out and join us for a beautiful ride in the woods.  Don't let the cold weather hold you back as it is always about 10 degrees warmer in the woods, with the trees blocking the wind.  Calverton is rated a beginner-intermediate trail so i encourage Novice and advanced beginners to come out and enjoy another sport perfect for keeping you in shape through the winter.  Please bring a snack and plenty of water (camelbacks are best so you can drink as you ride).  You will typically work up more body heat than same level road ride.

Newbies: plan to pump your tires between 28-33 lbs.

DEC permits required; be sure to have 2 copies, one to keep on you and one for your dashboard.

Any questions, call my cell.

Endurance paced ride. Minimal Stops, one quick nature break, bring two water bottles if needed. My Pulls will be at less than 225W on the flats, and less than 3W/kg on the climbs. If you want to go harder than that, or if you want to go charging up ahead on every hill, then this is the wrong ride for you.
