This will be the last 2023 Century Training Ridefor The Thunderbird Orient Century !
This week, we taper-off the miles, to recover for the upcoming century!
Sorry folks, but the weekend weather doesn't look good for riding any long distances. I'm trying to get in this final training ride, so I'm forced to run it on Friday - instead of Saturday or Sunday.
The plan is for us to ride in a controlled paceline, riding at a pace to keep the group together. That means not jacking-up the pace when you get to the front of the paceline, and downshifting on rises to keep the pace even to keep the paceline together!
This week's route takes us through Riverhead and out along Peconic Bay Blvd to Mattituck. We'll have a rest/food stop in Mattituck, and then it's the spin back home along the same route. On the way back, we may have a possible last stop to stretch near Riverhead.
We'll have S.A.G. support for this ride, in case we have a flat or someone needs help making it back home!
This will be an easy & flat C ride around Center Moriches, on a modified route to keep out of any winds that may crop up. We will average 11.3 - 11.8, 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 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.
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.
Come join us for a 35 mile ride with a stop for some of Nettie's wonderful treats. The ride incorporates a number of fun short rolling hills.
The forecast for Friday looks good, though a bit on the warm side, so be sure to bring plenty of hydration. Most importantly bring an upbeat inquisitive attitude ready to explore and discover.
if you have questions, please text Bill Mastro at 917-921-5358. I also appreciate if you text me to let me know you are joining the ride. Generally, I forward the final ridewithps file to those who let me know they are attending. Any updates or weather issues will be posted to the ride listing by 7:30 on the day of the ride.
Early start, early finish. Enjoy this scenic ride out to Netties with the rest stop at mile 26. We'll average in the mid range of B-, cruisng 15 - 17 mph, the tour of the coast line will slow the pace a bit, but worth it! Any changes will be posted by 6 AM Saturday. Kindly text me if you plan to do this ride. Call or text any questions to 631-455-4251.

Join us for the ... SBRA Century/Metric Century Ride 2023 Saturday, June 10, 2023
The rides will leave from Calverton and go out to Orient and back. There will be Century and Metric Century ride distance options. Check the ride calendar for all available rides posted by the ride leaders.
There will be minimal sag support (may be only 1 vehicle). Bring your own food and drinks as there will be no official rest stops. No registration is required. This is a very casual "let's do a century" for SBRA members.
Why settle for nothing less than the full century, the 100 miles, the long ride. It's Orient Point or bust!
We'll keep an endurance pace on this paceline ride, while we head out through Riverhead, Mattituck, Cutchogue and Southold.There will be a couple of stops outbound and on the return, so we can keep everyone together and avoid the dreaded Bonk, or even worse leg cramps!
The pace will be in high B/B+ outbound and probably slower on the return, when tired legs meet the headwinds of the North Fork.
We hope to see you on the ride!
Let's Go!
Now, if we could only find some Thunderbird for the post ride celebration!
