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.

Note the start is at Brookhaven State Park across from Whiskey Road East end.
This will be a Begineer/Intermediate ride! There are virtually no Black Diamonds on this trail.
I will ride as slow as the slowest rider.
First time at Shoreham this year so there maybe short stops for trail clearing.
If no begineers call or show than figure this to be a SLOW Intermediate ride
Text me at 631-988-6557 if you plan to ride with me and I will wait at the start if you're running late otherwise if no one contacts me I may start riding early!
Check back to this posting before leaving for the ride as Life Happens and Things Change.
This will be an easy C ride around Center Moriches, that will average 11.5 - 12 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. Since the exact route will be determined as we go along, there will not be a cue sheet.
The number of riders is limited, so if you want to ride you must text me (631-523-2129) with your SBRA Member Number and Emergency Contact phone number. I will respond to your text and let you know if you have a spot on the ride. Once the ride is filled, I will change to post to indicate that.
MEETING LOCATION: straight back from Wendy's and Dunkin Donuts, on the EAST SIDE of the shopping center.
Riders should 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.
Off to Netties, where you can enjoy soup with a roll, baked treats, and indoor and outdoor seating areas. To join this ride, text Bill G. at 631-356-3036 with your full name and ride destination. Check for changes the day of the ride, which would be posted by 08:00am.
This will a paceline training ride, where we will be doing laps of the 6.25 mile Time Trial loop. So, doing the numbers, that works out to 6 laps, plus riding to and from the start to get our mileage.
The Plan is to ride 5 laps at a strong pace and then slow down and do one easy cooldown lap. The fifth lap will be the all-in "Bell Lap", where you can push it to get to the finish, but don't forget the sprint to the Llama farm! For most of the ride, the group will stay together and if someone goes to the front of the paceline and jacks-up the pace, the group may counter-attack that rider for disturbing the ride flow! Bear in mind, B+ rides should have a 17 to 18 MPH average, with a max. cruising speed of 19 to 21 MPH. So 21 MPH should be our max. speed except downhill/downwind or in that last lap sprint!
Since, this is a training ride you may get dropped! That's where the beauty of this loop comes-in, you can either ride by yourself, or take the Line Road shortcut to catch back up!
There are a few rules to remember for this ride:
There is only one ride leader on this ride.
This is a paceline ride; you may be passed on the right or on the left. IF this makes you uncomfortable, DON'T COME ON THIS RIDE, you could cause an accident.
If you are in a bad mood and want to curse at riders or the Ride Leader, DON'T COME ON THIS RIDE, you will be thrown off the ride.
If you want to argue about how the ride is run or riding technique, DON'T COME ON THIS RIDE, you will be thrown off the ride.
This will be a C ride, which will average 11.5 - 12. The exact route will be determined at the start. Wherever we go there will be a bathroom stop & a food break. Since nothing is certain until we start, there will not be a cue sheet for this ride.
NOTE: I am limiting the number of riders on my rides, so you must 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.
With a 50% or greater chance of rain Sunday and temperatures projected in the low 50s, the ride is moved up to Saturday so we can RELAX on the rocking chairs on the cabins deck.
Let's ride from Southaven to Netties again where we will take our break either on their outdoor porch or inside the cabin where we can enjoy the warmth of their fireplace.
Paceline ride group stays together. Wait ups or stops for those that fall behind.
Note: If you are facing Kreb's shop, the entrance to the parking lot is to the left of the shop. Park in the area in the far left back of the lot. Off to the Quogue Preserve, with some mileage on Dune Road. Restroom stops coming and going, and at the preserve. Bring snacks and drinks for scenic stops. At about mile 26 we will stop at a pocket park in Westhampton Beach, with a 7-11 and a bakery nearby if you are interested. To join this ride, text Bill G. at 631-356-3036 with your full name and ride destination. Check the ride calendar the day of the ride for changes, which would be posted by 08:00am.
Not sure if the weather will cooperate, like all my rider friends do. But if it's not cancelled or switched to MTB ride due to rain or cold temps respectively, then both will be B+/A- pace.
Please check here on Monday morning at 7am to see if cancelled or changed.
Join me for this C ride, which will average 11.2 - 11.7; no one gets dropped and we will be observing spacing rules, etc. Ride route will be determined by the road conditions; decision to be made the morning of the ride; no cue sheets. We will either head to Blue Point or to the Smith Point Marina for our break; there will be a bathroom stop.
The number of riders is limited, so if you want to ride you must text me (631-523-2129) with your SBRA Member Number and Emergency Contact phone number. I will respond to your text and let you know if you have a spot on the ride. Once the ride is filled, I will change to post to indicate that.
Park in the back left hand side of the parking lot. Library will be open so bathroom available.
This will not be a fast ride, I haven't been riding and it's cold. Came in at 13.4 on Saturday.
Very scenic around Strongs Neck, rollers out to the lighthouse for a break, then a hill over mt Grey and to the beach.
Nowhere to buy food so bring your own. There should be a bathroom at the beach but don't bank on it.

Figure this to be a SLOW Intermediate ride ... I plan to skip CR83 South and Hunters Path but include the Ridges and maybe more BDs. I WILL adjust the distance and diamonds based on who shows up.
Text me at 631-988-6557 if you plan to ride with me and I will wait at the start if you're running late otherwise if no one contacts me I may start riding early!

Meet at the lot across from the Maples for a Thunderbird paceline ride to Cupsogue. This will be a new route!
The outbound run will take us through Eastport and downhill past the Casa Basso. Everyone stays together and rides like a team until Dune Road, which will be a do it at your own pace. After a stop at the Beach, we'll head back through Westhampton Beach and up Old Country Road through Eastport. Then it's back to Manorville via Head of the Neck and Clancy, leading us eventually to South Street and Silas Carter.
Let's work together and avoid jacking-up the pace! When you get to the front of the paceline, maintain the pace that the group was moving at. It's disrespectful to the rider pulling off the front for you to jack-up the pace.
