NOTE:
Under the Ride Level details, the "Type: Road Bike" refers to the ride will be on paved roads (rather then off road trails). Although a Road Bike is suggested for Road Bike Type rides it is not required. Hybrid and mountain bikes can be used on these rides as well provided you are comfortable with the pace outline in the Posted Ride. This ride calendar is for club rides, club meetings, club event posts and shop rides only.
For Other Events in our area and off Long Island check out the "Other Rides & Events calendar" and the "Forums"

Off to Briermere's, with a quick stop to see the American Bison herd, if they are in a field viewable from the road. Briermere's has coffee and tea, and a wide variety of baked goods and pies. Bathrooms and picnic tables are available. If you are interested in sharing a pie, and at least 3 other riders are interested, we can buy a pie: so bring singles and change. For info: contact Bill G. at 631-356-3036. Check the ride calendar the day of the ride for changes, which would be posted by 07:15am. Note: Veteran's Park has porta-potties.
I thought we would change it up this week go to Middle Island today. The average pace for the ride will be between 14.0 and 15.0 mph +/- depending on the roads, wind direction and other conditions. The road speed will be between 14.5 and 16.5 mph. Around mile 17 we’re going to stop at the senior citizen discount bagel shop. There are a few places along the route where those who wish can stretch their legs a bit.
Please check the ride calendar for any weather, or last minute cancellations which will be posted no later than 7:30am, if necessary. My cell number is 631.484.3490; call or text anytime if you have questions about this ride or need directions to the start.
On Tuesdays we’ll be riding the hills north of Stony Brook, getting up to B- average over the coming months. If you are interested in getting better at hills and can do a C+ pace, now is the time to join us. To start this series, we’ll do a low C+ on the flats and everyone will bike at his own ability (or lack thereof) on the hills. Take the hills at your own pace and we’ll meet at the top. No pressure there.
We go from the ride start to the lighthouse in Old Field. We have our break there at the overlook, so bring your own snack. There is no bathroom stop on this ride.
Questions before ride, my email is [frchtchr@hotmail.com]. Morning of ride, my cell is 631-835-1454.
This ride will leave Veteran’s Memorial Park for a 41 mile loop around the jets and into Area 51 (see below for details).In consideration of those tapering down for the Tour of Battenkill, we will keep this at the low end of the A class.I am looking to maintain a steady 19 – 20mph, nothing more.I hope to see you there.
Bean &Bagel will be rest stop cell phone 631-484-1650 for questions please call or text after 7 am or before 7 pm no one left behind check 2 hours before if weather is questionable
Starting off prior to dead low tide; we will ride west to Democrat Point and do a little exploring. Parking should be free weekdays until 5/20 (that's how I read it). If you are 62 or older, it's a good idea to get a Golden Park Pass. This will be anywhere between hard pack sand and soft sand so bring your Fattie to the beach.
If the time doesn't work for you don't blame me; blame the tides (we could go 12hrs prior).
I'm taking Mike F's Taco Tuesday ride this week. We'll enjoy the quiet streets of Great River and East Islip, and will also do 2 loops in Heckscher State Park where we can stretch our legs a little.
This 22 mile B- ride will average 14.5 mph with cruising speeds of 15-18 mph.
Get comfotable with riding on hills with this moderately paced hill-ride. The ride will likely have stretches where we soft-peddle and/or wait-up, so that no one is dropped.
The roads are quite scenic as we tour through Stony Brook, Old Field, Setauket and Poqott. Mostly we'll be on country roads which have "a few" rolling hills. You'll be treated to some great water-views.
Crusing speed will be a B- pace, 15-17, with average speed in the C+ to C+/B- range 12.5-13.5 as the hills will slow us down.
Ride 13-17 miles at an 10.5-11.5 pace until dusk. Wear bright gear and have lights. Newbies always welcome and nobody gets left behind. Park on South side of RR in lot across the street. Daylights burning so wheels down at 5:30. Any cancellation will be by 4:30.
