Ruff Stuff Style
This is a multi surface ride. We will be riding trails and road. Gravel bikes, cross bikes, road bikes with wide tires, mountain bikes (definitely overkill) are all welcome. There will be some hike-a-bike sections, a river crossing (you shouldn't get wet), there will be sandy sections, everyone will walk at some point, its an adventure. Flats or mountain bike shoes are definitely recommended. There will be stops along the way, no Mc Donalds stop on this ride, bring plenty of water and nutrition, the pace will be social. The B/B+ indicator is for social mountain bike pace. Any questions, feel free to reach out.
I recommend using your preferred tick repellent for this ride, just to be safe.
Mileage may vary, still working out the route...
I will not be staying for the festivities, but will be riding over to the Climb Fat Tire Festival at Cathedral Pines after this ride, it's free this year, come check it out!

This start location is not friendly to D riders. I rode my intended ride and discovered that it is too hilly. We will instead link up to my Mastic Water Views ride, with a stop at 10 miles at Dunkin’ Donuts.
IMPORTANT INFO: In order to link up to Mastic, we will spend a mile on William Floyd Parkway. HOPEFULLY, IT WILL BE LIGHTLY TRAVELED SUNDAY MORNING, BUT BE PREPARED FOR ONE MILE OF BIKING WITH CAR TRAFFIC. I avoided hills except for a short one leading to William Floyd Parkway.
Questions before ride, my email is (frchtchr@hotmail.com). Morning of ride, my cell is 631-835-1454. Cancellation for weather by 7:30 morning of ride.
We will make a loop to the south shore and then head north to McDonalds for our rest stop. From there we will make our way back to the park. Go on Marie’s ride
In Brian Toole's words: This will be a "steady 21-ish mph" ride. We will keep it mellow and ride all together, except for three sections that you can choose to stay mellow or be more "ish". Those sections are:
1) Mill Road (we will stop at gas station at the end of Mill)
2) 51 hill (wait up at light)
3) 111 (wait up at Halsey Manor turn)
Then mellow home. Map is linked below. Hope to see you there!
Mostly flat along Whiskey Road and some grades along the way ... stop at McBreak in Wading River at 15 mile mark ... at least one hill at the end to empty yourself of remaining energy. Choice of extending ride ~ 6miles on Greenway Bike Path to Setauket and back.
I'll be riding the bike path to the ride start ...
Check back to this posting early Tuesday morning ... as Life Happens and Things Change.
This is a shortened version of my To Miller Place ride. It cuts off along North Country for a bagel at Crystal Brook Hollow, leaving out the steepest climb.

Hills are north shore but just a few and less than Slow Hills.

In Brian Toole's words: This will be a "steady 21-ish mph" ride. We will keep it mellow and ride all together, except for three sections that you can choose to stay mellow or be more "ish". Those sections are:
1) Mill Road (we will stop at gas station at the end of Mill)
2) 51 hill (wait up at light)
3) 111 (wait up at Halsey Manor turn)
Then mellow home. Map is linked below. Hope to see you there!
Similiar route to sbra cares ruff stuff with some exploration as well. Mixed surface ride, pavement, dirt, sand, and some gravel too. Wanted to check out some areas in Coram and by the Longwood Estate. Wide tires are a must I would say at least 35mm to be comfortable. Come with an open mind and be willing to something new. I recommend either flat pedals or mtb pedals. There are some hike-a-bike sections. Pace will be civil, cruising pace on the road will be about 17 mph, on the trails and other surfaces, whatever you are comfortable with.
No official ride rest stop, so please bring adequate food and water.

Join me for this easy and almost completely flat ride from Riverhead to Mattituck, where we will take a break at the Deli on Love Lane. We will return through Jamesport, up and around Riverhead, and end up at the start. There will be cue sheets.
The average pace will be 12.4 - 12.9, or so, depending on the weather and those in the group.
Note: I will take the wind into account and will do my best to limit our riding into the wind.
Possible Venue Change At the Ride Start ... I'll be driving to the ride start on Belle Meade road before 9 AM ... if the trail is too muddy I'll be heading east ... will try Brookhaven State Park and then Calverton if necessary. If you'tre running late give me a shout on my cell and we will wait before riding or adise about change of venue.
Not that cool yet but the 40 mph wind gusts will make the road a bit more sketchy ... starting at 9 AM to allow folks to get here and not battle the commuting traffic. Also, since it's supposed to rain on Wednesday evening I will not ride the east side of Belle Meade if its muddy ... we'll do the Westside simple loop and maybe a bit more.
Lots of folks avoid East Setauket as it has a good deal of technical and hilly sections BUT there are also milder single track sections that many riders can handle when keeping the speed down. Come along and I will be more than willing to wait if you want to walk any section that you feel is above you pay grade!
Lots of the trail is pretty wide and ticks will not be a problem unless you dive into the bush ... Also, I will have bug spray available before the ride.
For faster and more skilled riders please look at the ride level ... you will be out ahead of the group I lead that will go at the slowest rider's pace. No one will be left behind in the woods!
