This is a hilly ride. A couple tough ones too, but you'll roll down roads not frequently visited on SBRA rides. This will be typical North Shore / W. Suffolk / Nassau County cycling, so be prepared for a more challenging ride with all the added dimensions of hills, residential neighborhoods, and a some narrow roads with no separate bicycle lane.

Probably not a good choice for your first hilly ride of the season, but all B+ riders are welcome. There will be wait-ups at the top of each hill (probably for the ride leader).

Bring snacks and drink. No sit-down break planned, but we will be stopping at Sagamore Hill for bathrooms and commiseration.

Last few flat miles of the ride could be a paceline at an A pace.

Here's the likely route (subject to change):

Cue sheet available.

NOTE: The ride start location is a big parking lot. Clydesdales like me might consider arriving by 8:45 and doing a few laps around the lot just to get warmed up. The first hill is only 2 miles into the ride and it's not very welcoming.
