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.
For Other Events in our area and off Long Island check out the "Other Rides & Events calendar" and the "Forums"

A 40 mile city ride with stops for food, sightseeing and photos can be a longer day than you might expect. I hope to be back at the cars by 3pm.

Bring snacks and gels. There will be a bagel stop in Long Island City around the 20 mile mark. 

Obviously… not your typical "club ride". This will be much more of a "tour ride". I'm very selective about the roads/paths I choose. Many will have a designated bike lane... a few might not.... but on the brightside... there are no bridges.  Of all the city rides I put together, I think this one feels the most adventurous.

This is a B/B+ ride ... not so much for the speed, but for the general confident bike handling skills required to navigate a variety of advanced cycling situations. 

This is an RSVP ride.  Contact me (text) in advance if you plan to come. Provide me with your SBRA Member # and I'll sign you in. 

(Just for your 411... I'm finalizing at least another two city rides probably Oct 6th and maybe the 13th or 20th)
