We'll do the Intermediate trail which has a lot of hills at the north end. The wind will still make the woods inviting as you will hear the howl instead of fighting it. There are a number of B level Black Diamonds and the trail is laid out to bring riders back to all the BDs so folks can wait to re-join the group if they want to skip a DB or DBD. Check back later for more info.

The ride will be following the SBRA COVID-19 Guidelines.  PLEASE text (@ 631-988-6557) or email @ me with your rider information (Name, Member #, Emergency #, Cell #).   IF I don't receive any text messages I may vary the start time a bit. [nsamuels@optonline.net].

You must have a mask on your person to do this ride ... 

Remember to check back as Life Happens and Things Change!

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 this ride will be between 14.5 & 15.0  +/- mph, or what conditions allow. The road speed will be between 15 and 17.0 mph.

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; Think Tennessee.  

Any cancellations due to unforeseeable circumstances, or weather related problems will be posted by 8:00am. If you have any questions about this ride, please text my cell, 631-484-3490.  

RIDE IS FULL.

Join me for ride from Eastport to Westhampton. This is a C+/B- ride, which will average 13.5 - 14.0, partly depending on the winds, the riders, etc. Since the exact route will be determined at the start, so there will not be a cue sheet for this ride. We will ride part of Dune Road (direction determined by the winds that day) and then take our break in Westhampton at the Beach Bakery, where bathrooms and food are available. 

Changed to a C ride.

Join me for this C ride that will average around 11.2 - 11.7. We will be riding from the Timber Point Golf Course in East Islip to Islip, and doing a few loops with some nice sights and water views.  We will take a brief break along the way, so bring your own snacks, and we will find bathroom stops when necessary.

No one gets dropped and we will be observing spacing rules, etc. Due to possible weather issues, the exact route will be determined the morning of the ride (thus, no cue sheets). 

Think we should do a ride up to Middle Island today. The average pace will be 14.5 to 15.0 +/- a bit. The road speed, 15-17. The stop - bagel in the middle of the ride, or bagel at the end of the ride, your choice. Route could be changed if the wind conditions are not conducive to this ride. Pulling always appreciated. You know the drill. 

Any questions about this ride text me 631.484.3490. Cancellations due to whatever by 0730.

CHANGE: moved from Wednesday to Thursday for better weather, and now starting at 9:00!

Join me for this C+ ride, which will average 12.3 - 13.0. No one gets dropped and we will be observing spacing rules, etc. Ride destination will be determined by the road conditions; decision to be made the morning of the ride; no cue sheets. There will be a bathroom stop somewhere, as well as a break.

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.

NOTE #1: You must be a club member to go on club rides.

NOTE #2: riders at this time are limited. You MUST text me with your name & SBRA Member Number if you want to ride. I will return the text: YES, you have a spot…or…NO, Ride Filled...CELL #: 631-523-2129

Join us for this easy and almost completely flat ride from Mattituck to Riverhead, where we will take a break at Briermere. When we return to Mattituck, we can get a slice of pizza (if you want) and then go to the Magic Fountain Ice Cream for a treat (if you want)! {all food is at personal expense}

Route may be flexible, due to the winds, so probably no cue sheets. The average pace will be 12.3 - 13, or so, depending on the weather and those in the group.
