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"

It will be cold at the start so please dress appropriately, you will warmup while riding ... hand warmers are suggested for better control.
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 ... IF a faster rider contacts me I will modify the Ride Classification to Multi-Level ... Otherwise 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!
Check back to this posting early Saturday morning ... as Life Happens and Things Change.
Also, No need to arrive 20 minutes early and cook in the car or freeze waiting to ride ... just be there in time to start at th posted Ride Start time.
So, let's get outside and ride while we can. We'll do some paceline work out to Briermere Farms, hitting Route 24 and riding up through Riverhead. On the return, we'll ride along some sheltered roads to get of the wind, including Middle Road and Deep Hole. It will be much more fun than sitting in the gym!
We will be leaving Bank of American in East Islip heading to Great River and East Islip area. Then we will head to Bohemia and stopping at McDonalds around mile 23 for our break. Any questions call Mike at 516 448-8545
Please Note: This is a B- ride with an average speed of 14.5 -15mph, road speeds may reach 17-19mph. Check the ride calender for any changes posted by 8:00am day of ride.
Meandering ride from Bellport to Oakdale with a stop at Dunkin Donuts (DD) in Oakale before the return. I know it's cold but be sure to pack water to stay hydrated and snacks just in case you feel alittle hungry.
Any changes/cancellations will be made prior to 7:00AM the morning of the ride.
Feel free to text/call 631-521-0688 with any questions you may have regarding this ride.
We will ride around Belmont State Park Lake then taking the trail down to Babylon town dock. The trail can accommodate fat tire, mountain and cross bikes. Short hydration break at the dock or we can stop at the Delica Sea deli just before the dock if needed.
The pace is as fast as the slowest rider. Note- The route includes both trail and on road riding.
Please check the ride calendar for any weather, or last minute cancellations, which will be posted no later than 8:00am if necessary. My cell is 347-677-4164; call or text if you have questions about the ride or need directions to the start location. DN
CHANGE:Had to move the ride to a Bellport start at 10:00, and dropped the pace to a "C" ride.
Join me for this ride from Bellport to Blue Point, where we will do some dips and loops into residential areas, and take our break at the deli on Atlantic Avenue.
This is now a C ride, which will average 11.3 - 12.0 (depending on the riders & the wind), with cue sheets, and no one will be left behind.
About 2 hours of steady hills at around 3W/kg. Download the route below, stay with the group, or you will get lost. If you want to charge ahead of the group, you're on your own.
