NOTE:
Under the Ride Level details, the "Type: Road Bike" refers to the ride will be on paved roads (rather then off road trails). Although a Road Bike is suggested for Road Bike Type rides it is not required. Hybrid and mountain bikes can be used on these rides as well provided you are comfortable with the pace outline in the Posted Ride. This ride calendar is for club rides, club meetings, club event posts and shop rides only.

This will be an endurance ride: lock in 20.5 mph on the flats for the duration. There will be three stops along the way: the 20-, 45-, and 60 mile point. The first two under five minutes, and the final pit stop at Main Road Biscuit for a little longer. I hope to see you for a pleasurable ride.
Park in the lot closest to Montauk Highway. Heading to Manorville (McD's, 7-11, bagel store). A little earlier start since it looks to be a warm day. A few hills but done at your own pace. Always check back for any changes which would be made by 7 am.
We will go to Patchogue, or Around Holbrook depending on the wind direction. If we do Holbrook it will be about 24 miles. If we do Patchogue figure about 27 miles. Patchogue equals McDonalds. Holbrook means a bagel after the ride. The road speed will be 15.5/17. Pulling is always appreciated. We'll come in with a B minus average plus or minus a few.
The average could be higher if we find a big downhill with the wind at our back. It could also be lower, if we find a big hill with a head wind, and we decide to walk. Then again, the whole ride could change, so stay flexible, not ridged, it's the Tuesday ride. We're supposed to have fun. If you want to do Ronkonkoma again, we can do that. This is just a very indecisive morning for me. Ah, maybe it will rain, or snow, or the groundhog will see its shadow. Opps, I think that happened. Think I'm done talking about this ride - my attempt at humor is getting skewed.
Any cancellation due to weather or any other circumstance will be posted no later than 0715 if necessary. If you have question about the ride just text me at 631.484.3490. Eventually my phone and I will meet in a reasonable amount of time...
I'm leading Mike F's Taco ride this week, and we'll keep it at a B- ride, averaging 14.5 mph with cruising speeds of 15-18 mph. Pretty much the same route in Great River and East Islip, with 2 loops in Heckscher State Park. Tacos at Jackson Hall after the ride, at 5:15 or so.
Moderate/fast paced B/B+ South Shore ride with possibly some park loops at the end. Riders will have the ability to "stretch legs" at some points during the ride with wait-ups to regroup as needed. No one gets dropped. Route changes slightly depending on weather/wind so mileage subject to +/- 10% differential.
No need to be 20 mins early - just be ready to ride by 4:00pm.
The route is still TBD, but for now the mileage will be a minimum of 18 miles, I'd like to stretch it out to 20 miles. Wherever we go, we'll make a stop in the park first for the restrooms before continuing the ride. Since there won't be a food break, please pack a snack and drinks for when we break.
If interested in doing this ride, please text me at 631-521-0688 prior to 9:00pm (M-F) and provide me with your member #, contact and emergency telephone number.
Check back for any changes/cancellations which will be posted no later than 3:00 PM the day of the ride. No go in rain.
Join me for this evening ride from SAYVILLE around the surrounding areas. This will be an easy C+, with a ride average between 12.2 - 12.7. The exact route will be determined at the start, so there will not be a cue sheet for this ride. We should have enough daylight, but it is recommended that you wear bright/reflective clothing and have working lights on your bike. Please be prompt getting to the ride start, so we may depart on time.
Park on the SOUTH side of the train station.
