This is the usual Slow Hills route with two additions: a bathroom stop about mile 9 at the library and a one-mile walk (round trip) shortly after the lighthouse to check out the boardwalk over Flax Pond. We will have our usual snack break at the lighthouse. Weather is supposed to be DRY. The walk is flat and paved and the scenery is lovely. Something different for a Friday morning.

Ride the Four Peninsula rollars and hills of Three Village area, Setauket, Stony Brook and Old Field. Ride will head first to West Meadow/Trustees Road for a bathroom opportunity.
Country roads, rollers, hills and water views.
Ride should come in at a C+/B- pace, 13-14mph average, being slowed by rollers, hills and turns. At times we will be cruising in the 17+mph range.
This ride is about getting out to see where we are at. For those that are faster there will be spots to take off. For any slower riders we will take care of you to. I'm going to try to avoid the wind as much as possible. Call if you have any questions.
Join the Thunderbirds for the first of our Century training rides. These will be some rides to get in shape for the Bloomin' Metric in Connecticut and the SBRA RxR Century. This will be a paceline ride and you should have gotten in some rides already, so you're ready to work-up to the longer distance training rides you'll need to do those big rides. The plan is to ramp-up the distance and speed over the next rides, so we can ride a century at a B/B+ or B+ pace.
Remember: "To finish first, first you must finish!" (-Sir Stirling Moss (?)). So, don't push the pace in the beginning!
This week we'll leave from the Eastport Kreb Cycle, (park in the back section of the lot at the northwest corner).
The route takes us along the middle section of the Century, through the rolling terrain in Westhampton and Hampton Bays. We'll have a food stop at 23 miles at the western end of Southampton at a Goldberg's Bagels. We'll then return back through Quogue and Westhampton on a slightly flatter route.
This 18-24 mile ride will now be on the SOUTH SIDE of the Ronk train station near the Western end of the parking lot closest to Railroad Ave. Bring a snack and hydration. Route depends on riders ability, wind, position of moon and ride leaders disposition. As always newbies always well taken care of and no one gets dropped. Wheels down at posted time as "Daylights A Burnin" so get there 15 minutes before. Any cancellation will be by 8:00am. No need to text me, just "show n go".
Coming from LIE take Ronkonkoma Ave. South, just over RR bridge make 3 right turns, parking is on right, corner of Railroad AVe and Ronkonkoma Ave.
Coming from Lakeland Ave. Sunrise Hwy., go North just pass Vets Hwy make right on Smithtown Ave (following alongside of airport), just before bridge make right on Railroad Ave, parking is on left side (go past one way entrance and make 1st available left into lot).
The usual M.O.M. B+/A- pace. Rest stop at 22 mi at Wildwood Lake. Waitups as needed. Average 19+/-. I've been dormant for the past week so I need a steady pace, not too fast. Use the link below to view and download the route.

Can't trust the weather report these days, so maybe it WON'T rain. Check back for cancellation the day before the ride.
Riding to Heckscher from Stony Brook, much of Bobby’s route with extra input from Tom, probably averaging around 13, depending on wind. Snack stop either in park or at bagel store, group decides.

We'll take the north loop outbound and the south loop along Routes 105 and 24 on the return. In between, we'll have a stop at Briermere Farms for some recovery coffee and goodies.

I am just getting back to riding, so this will be an easy C ride around Center Moriches, that will average 11 - 11.5 and will be taking our break at Nettie's. There are some very nice water views along the way. No one gets dropped and we will be observing spacing rules, etc. Since the exact route will be determined as we go along, there will not be a cue sheet.
The number of riders is limited, so if you want to ride you must text me (631-523-2129) with your SBRA Member Number and Emergency Contact phone number. I will respond to your text and let you know if you have a spot on the ride. Once the ride is filled, I will change to post to indicate that.
MEETING LOCATION: straight back from Wendy's and Dunkin Donuts, on the EAST SIDE of the shopping center.
Riders should 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.
It is supposed to be windy so please check before leaving for the ride for any changes. I am posting a B but the effort will be more of a B/B+ due to wind/gusts.
This ride is about getting into shape for ride to Montauk. I'll try to keep us out of the wind. Everyone is welcome. Check day of by 8:15 am for any changes.
Looks like it might be another windy day. Check back later in the week for any changes to the distance of the ride. I changed this from a B/B+ to a B due to a few requests!
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 .I would like to keep the road speed between 15- 16 mph and come in at an average 14 and 14.9. Pulls Always Appreciated

We'll be riding from Blue Pt Brew out to East Hampton to take advantage of a nice forecasted SW tailwind. This is a one-way ride so we will be taking the LIRR back to Patchogue (3:40pm train from East Hampton arrives in Patchogue at 4:53pm). Please bring $$ and/or credit card for train ticket.
This is a very scenic ride and I try to avoid main/busy roads as much as possible. Food/hydration/rest stops approximately every 20 miles (or as needed). No one gets dropped unless they decide to stop. This is a great route because anyone can opt out at any point. You just need to ride to the nearest LIRR station on the Montauk Branch. The 3:40pm train from East Hampton makes all local stops back to Patchogue. Download MTA TrainTime app for all LIRR train schedules.
Pls note that route below goes to Montauk but this ride will end in East Hampton. The next century training ride will go to Montauk.

In an attempt to catch up to the retired folk who get to train while us poor saps are at work. I have decided to make an evening ride for all who work a typical 9-5 can attend. I plan on doing this as a weekly ride throughout the summer with the only thing changing is the route.
The goal for this ride is to finish with an average pace of around ~17.5mph. There will be brief waitups at the top of every large hill climb (Cordwood, Long Beach and 3 sisters).

Elaine was on the first SBRA ride I ever attended, in spring of 1988, and the next year I did my first century with her and the Goykins. A few days later, Elaine gave all of the riders in our group an L.A.W. Century patch. Of course, I want to be celebrating Elaine with the group.
