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.

The weekend is best for this place as getting there is not a bad commute. There will be some mud ... esp. between BD5 and 5A.
We'll limit the BDs but include the long half pipe and the climb up to and along the old RR tracks. Will try to save enough energy to do #12 loop. The pace will be slow but the technical aspect of riding planned for this venue is Intermediate to Advanced. There might be some exploring on this ride as not all the loops off the main have clear markings.
Here Comes 2020! All right, let's close out this decade with a fun ride. We'll meet-up with the other groups at the Holtsville Ecology Park and head out to Manorville on an old school style ride. We'll revisit some of the great routes and ride leaders like: Al and Mary Frey, Pete and Lil, Vinny Attisano (Nick's dad), the Mariner, Bob Fountain and Al Kelly.
We'll revisit some of the roads, that we followed so many times in the past. We'll head up to Granny Road and then descend Mill Road, past the Mariner's epic fixed gear skid, then pass the Yaphank Deli (where the Early Birds used to ride from), pop up the RxR bump and make our way to the Manorville stop.
On the return we'll visit Pete's Hill / the Hot Dog Truck Hill, Long Island Avenue and Lil's Mean Bump! (Did we really climb those hills with seven-speeds and down tube shifters!).
Once we're back, we can meet with the other groups and tell a few tall stories of the good old days...

I am posting this ride as a B/B+ because i have not been on a bike in a month and don't know how i will be riding or what the weather will be. Most likely this will be a low B/B+ (16 average) Ron organizses thiis New Years ride and Food Drive every year so I hope you can come out and drop off food even if you don't want to do the ride. This is also a Tail Gate ride so please bring snacks for after the ride to share with your fellow riders if you plan on staying after the ride.
Please note that I will cancel the ride if the temp is in the 30's or if the wind chill is in the freezing temps so please check the morning of the ride for any updates.
See Joanna's and Ron’s posting for details about the tail gate party and food donations.
I’m not sure of the route. It all depends on the wind and the temperature. We will either go to Patchogue, Great River, or Manorville.
The average pace for this ride will be between 14.0 & 15.0 +/- mph, or what conditions allow. The road speed will be between 15 and 16.0 mph, or slower if needed for safety concerns.
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 ride is a scenic meander along the Peconic Bay going out to Cutchogue, with bathroom stops along the way.
