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. This ride calendar is for club rides, club meetings, club event posts and shop rides only.

Try it, you'll like it. You've worked your butt off this summer and are at your peak fitness, lets get out and see how it goes. We start out as a group, there are wait-ups at the abandon restaurant (now a brewery), and the Cutchogue deli. There is no upper limit, posted as a AA we try to do the best we can; if that's an A or A+ pace that's fine. This is a full drop ride, so bring your friends and equals to ride with as the group will break up on or before 51 & 111. Fast and Fun!
JUST TO CLEAR THINGS UP; THIS RIDE IS NOW LISTED AS MULTI, ALL "A" LEVEL RIDERS ARE WIELCOME THERE IS NO UPPER LIMIT TO SPEED SO AA IS A POSIBILITY AS WELL AS A+, A AND A-. PASS THE WORD AND BRING FRIENDS THAT YOU CAN RIDE WITH. THE PACE SHOULD BE TEMPO WITH A FEW SPRINTS.REGROUPING AT THE COUTCHOGUE DELI FOR A BIT LONGER OF A BREAK. THE MORE RIDERS THE MORE FUN.
At this point... we now have 10 confirmed riders... so the version of this ride that would've included the ferry to Brooklyn is no longer possible (too many riders).
Instead we will ride to Nathan's via the full length of the Rockaway Beack boardwalk... and the return will be via the Belt Parkway bike path through Howard Beach, back down to Far Rockaway, then Atlantic Beach, and home to Long Beach... but be flexible since I may improvise along the way.
We meet at the far east end of the Long Beach Boardwalk (Neptune Blvd) at the top of the boardwalk ramp.
Although posted as a B/B+ this will be a somewhat casual ride. The moving pace will be in the 16-18 mph range when possible... which will be off-set substantially by much slower riding on boardwalks and some city streets. The "hills" are mostly bridges (which can be challenging for people who don't like heights), but most of the route is dead flat.
This is an RSVP ride. Send me a text if you're coming along.
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. This is a no drop ride and wait-ups (if necessary) will be no problem. The speed of the group will be adjusted down to the speed of the slowest rider. Just bring your best bike handling skills and don't get freaked out by some riding on busy city streets. There are restroom options all along the way. Bring plenty of snacks, gels, and water.
Questions? Concerns? Feel free to text me....
Remember to RSVP: Please text me in advance if you plan to come. Include your name and SBRA Member ID and I'll sign you in.
The threat of wet weather will make me cancel this ride and reschedule.
Meet at the Dayton Avenue School for a Thunderbird paceline ride out to Briermere Farms. The school district is now locking the parking lot gates, so park by the small administration building outside the gates.
On the way East, we'll head out through the farms.
The return will take us up Route 24, with some long paceline runs. Then it's back along Grumman Blvd. and up to the finish at the Dayton Ave. School.
We will be leaving the bank heading to Babylon. There will be a break at McDonlds around mile 20. This is a B ride that will average around 15 - 15.5 mph with road speeds that will reach 16 to 19 mph.
Join me for this easy ride from Calverton Memorial Park, where we will ride on the back roads around Manorville and Calverton. We may take our break in Manorville, or at the deli outside of Wildwood State Park, or at Bean & Bagel. This is a C+ ride, which will average 11.9 - 12.7, depending on the winds, etc. The exact route will be determined at the start, so there willnot be a cue sheet for this ride.
NOTE: I am limiting the number of riders on my rides, so please 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; NO, ride is filled. CELL #: 631-523-2129.
This will be the usual ride to Hecksher Park and refreshments at the Islip Bagel store.
The road speed will be the same as what we have been doing between 15-18, we should average between 15.5-15.9 depending of course on weather and wind conditions. As of today the weather is suppose to be very nice but breezy so road speed could be slightly slower depending on how breezy it is.
Assistance in pulling is greatly appreciated.
Please check morning of ride for cancellations. If I need to cancel the ride I will post it by 7am.
There are 2 things for sure about this ride: it's scenic and it's hilly. Climb at your own pace, wait ups at the top of each climb. I'm hoping for a C+/B- average, but this will be a 'B' effort. Several scenic gulp and goes with a break at Ralph's Fishing Station. Call if you have any questions. Check the calendar before you leave your home, any changes will be posted by 7:00 am. I've added 4 flat miles at the start of the ride so our muscles will be warmed up for the first climb (not on the RideWithGPS route below)
