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.

**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. There are some very nice water views along the way. No one gets dropped and we will be observing spacing rules, etc. Exact route will be determined as we go along, so no cue sheet.
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.
NOTE #1: I am limiting the number of riders, so text me with your name, SBRA Member Number, and Emergency Contact phone number if you want to ride. I will return the text: YES, you have a spot…or…NO, Ride Filled...CELL #: 631-523-2129
This will be about a 30 mile, B ride to McDonald's in Manorville. Distance and average are heat dependent. PLEASE BE FLEXABLE.
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.
