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.

We will be leaving Bank of America and head to Great River and East Islip for a 22 mile ride. The ride will be at a B- pace with an average speed of around 14.5mph and road speeds that will reach 16 to 18 mph.
Meet-up at the parking lot across from The Maples, for something a little different! This will be anon-stopteam time trial ride. We'll do 5 laps of the old Grumman 6.25 mile Time Trial course, plus warmup and cooldown. Make sure you have adequate water bottles and gels, since we're riding non-stop!
The details:
We start with a 2.3 mile warmup from The Maples up to the intersection of Line Road and Grumman Boulevard. Then it's the time trial, where everybody takes a pull at the front of the pack, then rolls to the back for some recovery. DO NOT coast when you get off the front - you will be dropped! We'll try to stay together for the first 4 laps, but the the last (5th) lap is all-in at your own pace. Finally, we'll do a 2.3 mile cooldown, riding together back to the parking lot.
IF you get dropped, we aren't slowing down, but you can use the shortcut riding up Line Road to Grumman Boulevard to rejoin the group!
Here's your chance to raise your average speed on a ride, and test your discipline!
This C+ ride of 18-25 miles will average 11.5-12.5mph. Bring snack/hydration as route depends on wind, tide, position of moon and ride leaders disposition. Newbies welcome and well taken care of and nobody gets left behind. Any cancellation will be by 8:30am. No need to text, email, phone, send message by carrier pidgeon or smoke signal me. Just show up 15-20 minutes before ride start to get your s**t together.
Hopefully starting promptly at 6 so we can get back in time for dinner at Green Cactus which closes at 8:30!
I slightly changed the route but we still have the rollers and mt grey. A very scenic ride, we will be riding at a B- effort but slowed down by the twists and turns and stops for views.
We will have a short break at the lighthouse. No bathrooms until we get to West Meadow beach (mile 16)
