First ride after our vacation, so taking it easy with a C ride, which will average 11.3 - 12.0; no one gets dropped and we will be observing spacing rules, etc. Ride route will be determined by the road conditions; decision to be made the morning of the ride; no cue sheets. We will most likely head to Blue Point, where we will tahe our break; there will be a bathroom stop.
The number of riders is limited, so if you want to ride 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.
I'm filling in for John this week while he is in Italy. This will be a somewhat normal route but we will be taking a different road that was from years ago. Namely as we cross Route 25A and start down the hill on Wading River Manorville Road we will turn right on Remsen Road about halfway down before the church. We used to take this road which has some good ups, downs, twists and turns and brings us to North Wading River Road where we turn right and continue the route as usual. Please review the RWGPS route so you will know the turns. Hope to see you there!
Welcome to October and Halloween (or Samhain) month!
Meet at The Maples for a little paceline ride to the beach - Westhampton Beach (WHB.). Along the way we'll visit CR 104 /31 Hill, and the run past the airport.
Today's Mi Tierrita ride will be going to the Beach. The route is mostly flat with a small incline here and there. The average pace for the ride will be between 15 to 15.9 mph, depending on the roads and wind direction. The road speed will be between 16.0 and 17.0 mph. The usual break-a-ways will happen for those who desire. We'll stop along the way for a bathroom break around mile 10. Don’t forget to bring a snack. Do you know what AGUAPANELA is? Come and find out. Pulls are always appreciated.
Come join us for a Moriches exploration as we head down from Maples and ride around the Moriches exploring roads and dead ends with water views. All and all, 35 or so miles with lots and lots of turns (which should slow the average speed). T
We will not be making a stop to buy lunch during the ride. However, there will be a number of scenic and other stops along the way, so please bring any food or snacks you may want or need as well as sufficient hydration. Most importantly bring an upbeat inquisitive attitude ready to explore and discover.
To join the ride or if you have questions, please text Bill Mastro at 917-921-5358. I usually send the final ridewithgps file to those that text me. Any updates or weather issues will be posted to the ride listing by 7:15 on the day of the ride.

The usual ride out to Manorville with the Mill Hill Loop option. You can skip the hill loop and go directly to Halsey for a wait up for everyone doing the loop.
Putting Feelers out for this one. Copake Lake NY ride. I will be camping up in Copake Lake. like to organize a ride if you want to travel to a new place and try new roads. 100K ride 3200 feet of climbing. It's roughly about a 3 hour drive to Copake Lake. After ride we can have lunch at my camper and enjoy the park camp grounds. There are Hotels near the camp ground and I believe the camp ground has rental cabins and Tent sites.
I posted as a B+ for the fact I don't know the roads and looking just to have fun ride. We can even have 35 mile ride on Sunday as well or go for a hike. This is also a perfect time for all the fall colors in trees.
Please text me if interested as I will work with Campground to see if I can get a better rate.
Gettiing together for a Fat bike ride on the beach to say goodby to summer. We'll head east on the sand along the ocean enjoying the waves crashing and turn around to catch the prevailing westerly winds back. Ride is planned to end as Sundays on the Bay opens for lunch. It would be great to have a nice lunch with the group. Bring or meet with your significant other for lunch.
Feeling left out because you don't have a fat bike? Ask your favorite ride leader to post a road bike ride to compliment this fat bike ride and join us for lunch.
Always glad to get together with my SBRA friends. Please text me if your interested.
RIDE IS CHANGED TO SUNDAY, 10/6, AND NOW IS A C PACE.
This will be an easy C ride, as I haven't been on the bike for about two weeks. We will ride around Center Moriches with an average of 11.2 - 11.9 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, 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.
This is an RSVP ride. I can only take 6 additional people on this ride due to the carry-on-bicycle limitations on the NYC Ferry.
As of now... only 3 spots remain open.
Here's the plan....
Roosevelt Island 59th Street Bridge Central Park NYC Ferry from UWS to Wall Street South Street Seaport Battery Park Brooklyn Bridge Brooklyn Piers Prospect Park kosciuszko Bridge Pulaski Bridge Gantry Plaza State Park
The riding route is about 35 miles with about 1000 ft of elevation (plus 7 leisurely miles on the ferry). A 35 mile city ride with stops for sightseeing and photos can be a longer day than you might expect. I hope to be back at the cars by 3pm. Here's a link to the route:
Bring snacks and gels. We make stops fairly often, plus there will be an official rest stop somewhere along the way.
Obviously… not your typical "club ride". It's more like a day-long adventure ride. I'm very selective about the roads/paths I choose. Most will have a designated bike lane. A few will not. Some bicycle paths will have bumpy segments. I prefer to use my back-up "rain" road bike with 28mm tires.
This is a B/B+ ride ... not so much for the speed, but more for the hills (bridges) and the general confident bike handling skills required to navigate a variety of advanced cycling situations.
Contact me (text) in advance if you plan to come. Provide me with your SBRA Member # and I'll sign you in.
If you need an address for your GPS to find the start location, then use 42-25 Vernon Blvd, Queens, NY 11101
Feel free to text me with your questions or concerns.
Let's meet at the Kreb Cycle in Eastport for a ride out to the Citarella Market in Southampton Village. This will be a paceline ride, but we will work with each other so no one gets dropped! The plan is for this to be a fun ride, not a training ride, so be ready to work together!
On the way East we'll follow one of the Century Training Rides, riding through Remsenberg and Westhampton Beach. We'll probably have a rest stop around 18 miles on the way East, and we'll reach Citarella at around 29 miles. After a gourmet food stop, we'll head back on the return loop eventually doing the Casa Basso and Old Country Road.
Note: Please park in the northwest corner of the parking lot behind the Kreb Cycle in Eastport.
Due to rain forecast, maybe we'll ride, maybe not. B+ means cruise at 19-21, avg 18+-. Please, if you cannot do a B+ ride, then find an alternate ride, the trainer, or the gym perhaps. Please check this site at 7 am on Monday morning for any changes to the ride.
Things to remember: After pulling (2 min) drop to the back so everyone can get a chance to pull.
After making a turn or starting up from a stop, slow/soft pedal for a while so everyone can catch up easily. That's it for now.
Damn Rd is closed to traffic every day now so we will still detour using Connecticut, Mill Rd, and Rte 24 to Wildwood Lake. Coming back we will do the Pinehurst Blvd. detour for fun.
Check back to this posting ... esp. if the wind picks up. It will be a chilly start ... maybe light gloves and leggings? The route will go down Rt 25A and then west to Berman. Anyone know if the roadwork over Forge/Dam Rds is complete? Please let me know as most of us prefer that route back to the start.
Shared pulls will be expected ...
Contact me (631-988-6557) if you plan to join us and I'll contact you directly if there's any changes AND you'll only have to add your signature to the Ride Sign In sheet.
Off to Quogue Preserve. This ride will have several water views, rest room stops and a stop in a pocket park in Westhampton Beach, a minute from a bakery, and a quick walk to a 7-11.

Any changes/cancellations will be made prior to 8:00 am.
