Time change to get a couple of extra degrees of warmth.  At mile 9 there will be a food/bathroom break.  This will be the first in a series of training rides with the goal of doing the Metric Century.  Rides will be on successive Saturdays, with Sunday rain dates. Each Saturday the mileage will go up to prepare you for the Metric Century.  Please make sure that your bike is tuned up, tires at correct pressure, and you have 2 spare tubes with you.  Expected pace for the Metric Century will be somewhere between C+ to C+/B-, but can be modified based on group ability, weather and road conditions.  If you are interested in joining me on these rides please text or call me at 631-356-3036.  You must be an SBRA member to do the Metric Century. You must register for the Metric Century, the form is available on  the website. The ride is also open to riders not interested in the Metric Century.
