Time changed to 1pm to pick up a few degrees. I will be leading a series of rides to prepare myself for the SBRA metric century. Any member wishing to build up their mileage and who rides at the appropriate level, is most welcome to join in this series.  The first several rides will be at a C+pace, later rides will be at a C+/B-pace.  Each succesive ride will have a mileage increase of about 5 miles.  Rides will usually be on a Saturday, this first ride will be on a Sunday due to cold weather and strong winds.  Rain date on Saturday rides will be on the next day, Sunday.  Only SBRA members can ride the Metric Century ride, see SBRA flyer for info., price, registration form and deadlines.  If you are not planning to ride a Century or Metric century, you still can choose any of the practice rides as a regular SBRA ride.  This posted ride (03/18/18) will have a break at McDonald's at the 10 mile mark.  Check the ride calendar for changes, which would be posted by 08:15am day of ride.  For info:  call/text Bill Gravitz at 631-356-3036. With the date of the Metric Century pushed back, there should be plenty of time for practice rides, even if we miss a couple of rides.
