A line of showers and Thunderstorm forcast cancels this ride
A ride by the watersides of St. James, Stony Brook and Old Field. Plenty of waterviews. We stay on back roads, most with little traffic. There is quite a lot of up and down on this ride. The hills after Harbor Road are mostly easy going up. We will stop at West Meadow Beach at mile 11 for a quick rest stop. No one left behind and wait-ups where there are hills.Bring a snack for the rest stop. This ride is a B- effort although our average will be quite a bit less than on a Flat B- ride.
This ride has been moved to Friday due to rain forcast. Easy C ride will be adjusted to the slowest rider rest stop at Bean & Bagel Questions call or text my cell 631-484-1650. There will be some go aheads for the riders that want to get a little more work out.
This Century training ride is a B/B+, modified paceline. Once again, we will be heading out to the Ponquogue Bridge with a stop at the Beach Bakery. After the century, I will be using new routes to keep it interesting. This route allows me to modify the mileage depending on weather and the spirit of the group. Last week a few extra miles were added which might also be the case with this ride. This will be the last "long" ride before the Century.
During the break or at the end of ride, I would like to discuss the riding plan for the century with those of you who are planing to ride.
Questions about the Century or this ride call or text : 631 804-0751.
We will first take a brief tour of Bohemia, and then head to the Babylon docks. This week we will be stopping at Higbie Bagels for a break. Last week we were short of 32 miles so this week we will head north for a bit through Bohemia to tour the old neighborhood in order to hit 32-miles.

Hello everyone, > I will be hosting a ride Sunday 6/3/18 with Doug Terris at 7:30 from Carl Hart, the ride will be approx 50 miles and a reverse route of last week with a few extra hills on the way back (Thanks Doug ;-).
1) You must be an SBRA member to attend these rides. It’s only $20…
2) My routes are very complicated. If you have a bike computer that is capable of turn by turn navigation, do your friends a favor and load the route. If you don’t, and get lost, you can only blame yourself.
3) These routes are designed to teach you how to conserve at the beginning, so you will be strong at the end. If you attack the early hills, then crack and get dropped later, no one will feel sorry for you.
4) I will lead these rides, climbing at around 3-3.5 Watts/Kg in general. On the steep stuff, I’ll keep it as low as possible with a 34/28. If you think this is an interval workout, you’re mistaken. If we all ride tempo, we shouldn’t have to regroup too often.
5) The group which I am in, is the main group. If you go up the road, you best know the route because your on your own.
This ride is 62 miles with 3700 feet of climbing. The route is "Tilda's to Nissequogue" in the SBRA Route Folder. There is also a link below. There will be a water and restoom break at Westmeadow Beach at mile 20 and in Setauket around mile 48.

Nice scenic ride on the north shore, with some hills and some waitups. We will stay together and pace ourselves through this route. After ride lunch at Saint James Public House.
Sorry about the late posting ... GR will be fine by tomorrow morning ... and last week the ES trail was very clear of brush (figure it's been maintained by CLIMB) but I'll have DEET on hand regardless ... plan on taking it slow and easy before the RR Century.

Really only two flat sections ... getting to the North Country Road hills and coming back ... and coming back which will feel fast as once gravity is not slowing us down it feels really good!
The pace of doing these hills will be lower than the pace of B/B+ but the effort will be the same as that speed on the flats. Think of this as a warmup to do John's Wednesday Morning Hills ride but slower ... We'll run the North Country Rd hills between Wildwood and Wading River and hope to meet up with John's crew.
Be sure to check back Wednesday morning by 7:00 AM ....

Ww will leave the train station and make our way to the bike path. Then we will head to Gardner Manor Park for our break. Bring a snack as there is no food stop. The ride is flat but there is 2 little hills at the Oakdale merge.
1) You must be an SBRA member to attend these rides. It’s only $20…
2) My routes are very complicated. If you have a bike computer that is capable of turn by turn navigation, do your friends a favor and load the route. If you don’t, and get lost, you can only blame yourself.
3) These routes are designed to teach you how to conserve at the beginning, so you will be strong at the end. If you attack the early hills, then crack and get dropped later, no one will feel sorry for you.
4) I will lead these rides, climbing at around 3-3.5 Watts/Kg in general. On the steep stuff, I’ll keep it as low as possible with a 34/28. If you think this is an interval workout, you’re mistaken. If we all ride tempo, we shouldn’t have to regroup too often.
5) The group which I am in, is the main group. If you go up the road, you best know the route because your on your own.
This ride is 62 miles with 3700 feet of climbing. The route is "Tilda's to Nissequogue" in the SBRA Route Folder. There is also a link below. There will be a water and restoom break at Westmeadow Beach at mile 20 and in Setauket around mile 48.

1) You must be an SBRA member to attend these rides. It’s only $20…
2) My routes are very complicated. If you have a bike computer that is capable of turn by turn navigation, do your friends a favor and load the route. If you don’t, and get lost, you can only blame yourself.
3) These routes are designed to teach you how to conserve at the beginning, so you will be strong at the end. If you attack the early hills, then crack and get dropped later, no one will feel sorry for you.
4) I will lead these rides, climbing at around 3-3.5 Watts/Kg in general. On the steep stuff, I’ll keep it as low as possible with a 34/28. If you think this is an interval workout, you’re mistaken. If we all ride tempo, we shouldn’t have to regroup too often.
5) The group which I am in, is the main group. If you go up the road, you best know the route because your on your own.
This ride is 27 miles with 2000 feet of climbing. It is part 2 of a 2 part 90 mile, 6000 ft ride. It will begin as soon as we complete parts 1 and take a quick break at the cars. The route is "Tilda's to Wildwood" in the SBRA Route Folder. There is also a link below. There will be no stops.

The RR Century is over! Time to get some hills on those legs!!
Once we start coming back from the hills we will feel fast as once gravity is not slowing us down ... it feels really good!
The pace of doing these hills will be lower than the pace of B/B+ but the effort will be the same as that speed on the flats.

Easy C ride will be adjusted to the slowest rider rest stop at Briermere Farms. Might add a few extra miles will depend on group? Questions call or text my cell 631-484-1650.
We're gonna start at Friendlys so we can icecream after due to the hot temps. Also cut 5 miles out to shorten the route. We are going to check out the new bike path in Calverton and take a short break at the bean&bagel. Speed will be 13- 15mph with plenty of go aheads for faster riders. Check back day of for any changes by 9:15am.

off to smithpoint's beach....
The "Swiezy / Pope" Montauk Railroad Century continues. Join SBRA for Long Island's premier 100 mile ride. The 100 mile ride starts at the Babylon train station and the Metric Century (62 mile) ride starts at Mastic train station. Riders receive snacks and a comfortable ride back from Montauk on the LIRR (if registered with the train ticket option). Bicycles are individually padded by our experienced club members and returned to train station by moving van.
Only one or two hills on this one and 6 miles of peaceful riding on the Port Jeff to Setauket multi-use path. Someday we'll be able to use the extension east to Miller Place.
