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"

We'll leave from Pat's place with a slightly faster pace, and a few additional miles for the ride to Babylon. We'll avoid downtown Sayville with the possibilities of carnivals and parades; places where the Killer Klowns frequent. You can tell a Klown by their behavior; they always jack-up the pace when they get to the head of the paceline - so don't be a Klown!
We hope to see you on this controlled paceline ride! Just remember to check the SBRA Calendar for changes due to weather on the morning of the ride.
Please contact me (text @ 631-988-6557 or email [nsamuels@optonline.net]) if you plan to do this ride.
Check back to this posting tomorrow morning as the ride start may be delayed due to wet roads.
So far the ride level is shaping up to be C+ to B ride. If you don't ride at these levels make sure to contact me.
Dick Cunningham lead this ride for years to help celebrate the birth of this nation. Haven't heard from the Mastic Historic Society regarding any planned event as they held in the past.
HAPPYFOURTHOFJULY!!! - wear your Red/White/Blue SBRA Jersey (if you have one) or some other PatrioticJersey!
Join me for this C+/B- ride, which will average 13.6 - 14.0. This is my new route (slightly different from the one I followed on May 9th) and the distance will be around 26 to 27.As such, there will not be a cue sheet, and weather/wind could determine changes to the route. We will take our break at the Timber Point Golf Course, where snacks and bathrooms are available. No one gets dropped and we will be observing spacing rules, etc.
Park on the south side of the train station.
Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the ride start, to allow enough time for me to get everyone signed in and to "get yourself" ready.

Update 7:00am. It is still raining in Holbrook, the roads are very wet. The predection is for pop up showers this am so I am cancelling the ride for today. By 1PM things are looking good.
Today's’ route to Great River will change up a bit towards the end of the ride, if the wind is in our favor; making this route pretty flat except for 2 overpasses. We will go the usual route heading south using the Connetquot Park bike bath. We’ll work our way down to Heckscher Park, do a loop where one can stretch the legs a bit if desired. The ride could end end up a mile or 2 over 30.
The average pace for the ride will be between 14.9 to 15.0 mph +/- depending on the roads, wind direction, rider ability, tailwinds, downhills, break-a-ways and other conditions.All of these conditions could change the final average one way or the other. Naturally, the road speed will be higher (15 -17 mph.) to produce the average.
If you are a rider who wants to step up from a C+/B- I would suggest that you – 1. Have been able to ride with at least a 14 average. Remember, my rides come in at 15 +/-. Look up my ride averages. You will be doing roads speeds between 15-17 mph. 2. Most important ask your C+/B- ride leader if he/she thinks this move up is for you. Naturally, if you have a problem I will help you along the way.
Please DO NOT PARK in the Meat Farms parking lot. Use the west side of the bank if the east side is full. Thanks!
We’ll be making a rest stop around mile 19 at the deli/bakery. The route back will be determined by the wind direction. Good Stuff after the Ride.
Any cancellation due to weather or any other circumstance will be posted no later than 0715 if necessary. If you have question about the ride just text me at 631.484.3490. Eventually my phone and I will meet in a reasonable amount of time...
Come out and join me for this ride from Maples Bar in Manorville to Netties Bakery where there are bathrooms available, as well as Sweets, no one left behind ever! Questions call or text cell phone 631-484-1650
