BSP has a good single track for Begineers and Intermediate riders. With the strong winds we have had there may be some clearing work to be done as we ride but Lenny P. has been in there with a chain saw and done lots of the big clearing.
Park in the south-west corner of the high school/library lot where the exercise path begins.
Dress warm as the forecast is 38F with 16+ mph winds == 30F wind chill.
No need to arrive 20 minutes early and cook in the car or freeze outside ... Please just be ready to ride at the posted start time! Running late? Call my cell # below and we'll wait a bit.

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
Join me for this C+ ride (average 12.4 and 13.0) around Holbrook, Ronkonkoma, and Bohemia, then down to Sayville and back up to the ride start in Ronkonkoma. We will take our break at the Gourmet Bagel Co. on Lakeland Ave., where beverages, food, and a bathroom are available. Adjustments to the route direction and/or distances may be made due to the prevailing winds and/or temperature changes.
Today's’ route to Great River will change up a bit towards the end of the ride, if the wind is in our favor; making this route pretty flat except for 2 overpasses. We will go the usual route heading south using the Connetquot Park bike bath. We’ll work our way down to Heckscher Park, do a loop where one can stretch the legs a bit if desired. The average pace for this ride will be between 14.5 & 15.0 +/- mph, or what conditions allow. The road speed will be between 15 and 17.0 mph, or slower if needed for safety concerns.
Please DO NOT PARK in the Meat Farms parking lot. Use the west side of the bank if the east side is full. Thanks!
We’ll be making a rest stop around mile 19 at the deli/bakery. The route back will be determined by the wind direction. Good Stuff after the Ride. Not sure what good stuff; it's always a surprise.
Any cancellations due to unforeseeable circumstances, or weather related problems will be posted by 8:00am. If you have any questions about this ride, or the start location, please call or text my cell, 631-484-3490.
This will be an easy B+/A- ride... just looking to get out there - not to race. Would love for you to join... pace will be between 18-22mph (except hills and winds of course). Go at your own pace up 51 and we'll wait at the light (or maybe you'll be waiting for me). Feel free to sprint on 111 and we'll re-group at Halsey Manor.
COME ON THIS 15-20 MILE RIDE AT A 10.6-11.6 PACE. Newbies always welcome and well taken care of. Bring water and a snack if we do not stop as direction depends on the wind direction, tide, position of moon and leaders disposition. Nobody gets left behind. Any cancellation will be by 9:30am. PARK ON SOUTH SIDE OF RR IN LOT ACROSS FROM SCHOOL.
Endurance paced ride. Minimal Stops, one quick nature break, bring two water bottles if needed. My Pulls will be at less than 225W on the flats, and less than 3W/kg on the climbs. If you want to go harder than that, or if you want to go charging up ahead on every hill, then this is the wrong ride for you.
