This ride is a workout! ... it wasn't enough to train for riding in the mountains of France but its has its ups & downs, ditto, ditto, ditto, (you get the idea). We'll do the 30 miles all within 5 miles of Port Jefferson. The B+ is more of a difficulty rating rather then the pace at the end of the ride. If we end up doing a 14-15 mph average then we should be feel good about how we ride the hills. Check out the cue sheet at http://www.sbraweb.org/sites/default/files/MtSinai-Pumping-Iron-30mi.pdf. No one will be dropped. Check back to the Ride Calendar early Saturday morning for weather related conditions ... I once cancelled this ride after a rain because the roads were too wet to go down hill safely.
