Sunshine Mall to Qouge to Westhampton with a stop at Beach Bakery at around mile 31. Overall average will be on lower end of scale but we'll open it up on Dune Rd with a wait-up at Qougue bridge.

We usually save the Ram Islands for last but Saturday we'll do them early in the ride. Then on to Wade's Beach with food at mile 21. 1200' of gain but no rush on these quiet post-labor day roads.
This scenic ride explores some great views on both sides of the Nissequgue River. There are some long flat sections where we'll cruise at a high B- and some hills in the middle. My preference is to do this ride without a deli stop to finish up earlier, so bring appropriate snacks. There is one potential scenic food rest stop which we can do if that is the prefernce. As usual, we'll slow or wait on the hills as needed if you're not accustomed to a rolling hill ride. The goal is not average speed but getting a workout and enjoying the scenery!
Try it, you'll like it. You've worked your butt off this summer and are at your peak fitness, lets get out and see how it goes. We start out as a group, there are wait-ups at the abandon restaurant (now a brewery), and the Cutchogue deli. There is no upper limit, posted as a AA we try to do the best we can; if that's an A or A+ pace that's fine. This is a full drop ride, so bring your friends and equals to ride with as the group will break up on or before 51 & 111. Fast and Fun!
JUST TO CLEAR THINGS UP; THIS RIDE IS NOW LISTED AS MULTI, ALL "A" LEVEL RIDERS ARE WIELCOME THERE IS NO UPPER LIMIT TO SPEED SO AA IS A POSIBILITY AS WELL AS A+, A AND A-. PASS THE WORD AND BRING FRIENDS THAT YOU CAN RIDE WITH. THE PACE SHOULD BE TEMPO WITH A FEW SPRINTS.REGROUPING AT THE COUTCHOGUE DELI FOR A BIT LONGER OF A BREAK. THE MORE RIDERS THE MORE FUN.
At this point... we now have 10 confirmed riders... so the version of this ride that would've included the ferry to Brooklyn is no longer possible (too many riders).
Instead we will ride to Nathan's via the full length of the Rockaway Beack boardwalk... and the return will be via the Belt Parkway bike path through Howard Beach, back down to Far Rockaway, then Atlantic Beach, and home to Long Beach... but be flexible since I may improvise along the way.
We meet at the far east end of the Long Beach Boardwalk (Neptune Blvd) at the top of the boardwalk ramp.
Although posted as a B/B+ this will be a somewhat casual ride. The moving pace will be in the 16-18 mph range when possible... which will be off-set substantially by much slower riding on boardwalks and some city streets. The "hills" are mostly bridges (which can be challenging for people who don't like heights), but most of the route is dead flat.
This is an RSVP ride. Send me a text if you're coming along.
I have no set time frame for how long the ride will take, but we should be back in Long Beach by 3-3:30pm. This is a no drop ride and wait-ups (if necessary) will be no problem. The speed of the group will be adjusted down to the speed of the slowest rider. Just bring your best bike handling skills and don't get freaked out by some riding on busy city streets. There are restroom options all along the way. Bring plenty of snacks, gels, and water.
Questions? Concerns? Feel free to text me....
Remember to RSVP: Please text me in advance if you plan to come. Include your name and SBRA Member ID and I'll sign you in.
The threat of wet weather will make me cancel this ride and reschedule.

We may take our break in Manorville, or at the deli outside of Wildwood State Park, or at Bean & Bagel. This is a C+ ride, which will average 11.9 - 12.7, depending on the winds, etc. The exact route will be determined at the start, so there willnot be a cue sheet for this ride.

East wind forecast for Sat so this should be a relatively easy century.

You can hang out in town for about an hour until we loop around. Bailout option if you find it hard to finish. There's a train that leaves Montauk at 3:43pm and makes all local stops to Patchogue. You just need to ride to the closest station to get back to ride start.

Let's take an early September Saturday morning and head out to the East End to explore the magical beauty and excellent riding on Shelter Island, an island without a traffic light.
The ride will be about 36 miles and provide an overview of the island. We will stop at various points to enjoy special views and some unusual attractions. We will keep a steady pace, but won't rush, allowing us to enjoy the scenic vistas. Please note, Shelter Island is flat, rolling and hilly in many places, usually short hills, but somewhat frequent hills (some with real grades) that are mostly fun with some excellent downhills. Everyone will take the hills at their own pace and we will compress to allow the group to catch up.
We will meet at the Greenport LIRR parking lot and head over to the ferry to Shelter Island at 9:30. Please arrive early to give us time to gather. Bathrooms are available at the ferry terminal on the Shelter Island side. The ferry is $6.00 in cash for a round trip for you and your bike (make sure to get and save your round trip ticket). The fee is paid on the ferry.
IMPORTANT Please eat a good breakfast and bring substantial snacks and plenty of hydration. Also, please bring a sandwich or something for lunch, as we will not be making an indoor food stop. Near the end of the ride, we will stop by our place on Shelter Island. There will a short period of hanging out on our deck and we will have some additional snacks and drinks for all. Afterwards, we will make our way back to the ferry via a 3 mile route with some amazing views and homes.
Please let me know you will be joining us, by texting me at 917-921-5358, so I can judge how many folks will be on the deck. Also please bring an upbeat inquisitive attitude ready to explore. I will share the final (I'm always tweaking) ridewithgps file with those who contact me.
Join me for this C+ ride, which will average 11.8 - 12.7; 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 either head to Blue Point or to Oakdale for 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.

The route is about 42 miles with about 900 ft of elevation. A 42 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. There will be a 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 always 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.
This is also an RSVP ride. 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.

Join me for this C+ ride that will average 11.8 - 12.5. 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 break at one of the beaches along the way, where there is a bathroom and concession stand.
No one gets dropped and we will be observing spacing rules, etc. The exact route will be determined the morning of the ride (thus, no cue sheets).
After entering the golf course, park in the FIRST lot on your RIGHT.

Obviously… not your typical "club ride". This will be much more of a "tour ride". I'm very selective about the roads/paths I choose. Many will have a designated bike lane... a few might not.... but on the brightside... there are no bridges. Of all the city rides I put together, I think this one feels the most adventurous.
This is a B/B+ ride ... not so much for the speed, but for the general confident bike handling skills required to navigate a variety of advanced cycling situations.
This is an RSVP ride. Contact me (text) in advance if you plan to come. Provide me with your SBRA Member # and I'll sign you in.
