The ride is going WEST first and then returning to Wading River. IF I don't receive any text/email signup messages I may vary the start time a bit. The route is relatively flat with a two mile optional down/up hill loop in Shoreham that might be skipped (not shown on route map). The link to the route is below my text. 

The ride will be following the SBRA COVID-19 Guidelines. I would like to limit the group to five or six riders. I really would like to have any riders give me company ;-). PLEASE text or email (address below route link) me with your rider information (Name, Member #, Emergency #, Cell #).  

You must have a mask on your person to do this ride ... I've been able to wear a mask at ready as lowered around my neck while riding and would suggest you do the same.

We'll be stopping for a scheduled break at the Miller Place McDonald's approximately 18 mile point of the ride.

Join me for this easy and almost completely flat ride from Mattituck to Riverhead, where we will take a break at Briermere. When we return to Mattituck, we can get a slice of pizza (if you want) and then go to the Magic Fountain Ice Cream for a treat (if you want)! {all food is at personal expense}

Route may be flexible, due to the winds, so probably no cue sheets. The average pace will be 12.3 - 12.8, or so, depending on the weather and those in the group.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Bow hunting season is open and Overton has one or two parking spaces available for hunters. Wear bright clothing if you attend. I will have a free swinging bell attached to my bike and suggest you do the same.

First time at Overton this season so the ride for me will be slower than "normal". I will certainly be skipping a few DBDs.

The ride will be following the SBRA COVID-19 Guidelines. It's easy to stay 25 feet apart in the woods. PLEASE text or email me (address below) with your rider information (Name, Member #, Emergency #, Cell #).

If you want to avoid the wind chill this winter you'll come into the woods. This will be a relatively short ride. The ride will start with a narrow fire road and then proceed onto single track that is well worn and relatively wide. You will be able to do this ride even if you have a department store Mtn Bike. You might even be comfortable if you have a hybrid bike. We won't be deep into East Setauket woods but regardless, NO ONE gets dropped in the woods.

If I don't hear that other riders are showing I may cancel the ride. Check back to this posting before leaving for the ride as Life Happens and Things Change.

SBRA insurance requires that Mtn Bike riders MUST sign a Ride Sign In sheet for each Mtn Bike ride.  Please text me and include your name. I will email you a copy of the Ride Sign in sheet to sign and bring to the ride unless you do me a favor and print it from here: https://www.sbraweb.org/sites/default/files/Ride_Sign-In_Sheet.pdf

You must have a mask on your person to ride though it's typical to be more than 15 feet a part in the woods.
