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.

Sunday Funday 72 mile ride from Yaphank Firehouse. Finish the season strong! North ride that will include 3 Hills. New time is 8am! We will take short breaks at around mile 25 and 50.
Join us Sunday, October 8, 2023 for the 8th annual CycleNY Long Island Ride to benefit the NY Bicycling Coalition (NYBC.net). This is a super special event for us, because as you may know, our Inn is currently for sale and this ride may be our last ride from this exact location (2024's ride will be unique and from someplace new). So we want this ride to really be the very best ever!
Looking to do a social Sunday Kreb ride Sunday. Had to step it back a little for a few weeks after a few issues at TOH. Got the OK to ride from cardiologist. Meet at Bellport Kreb and do normal Kreb Ride. Again, this is going to be a ride that WILL NOT come in 21 or 22 mph.
This 18-24 mile ride will now be on the SOUTH SIDE of the Ronk train station near the Western end of the parking lot closest to Railroad Ave. Bring a snack and hydration. Route depends on riders ability, wind, position of moon and ride leaders disposition. As always newbies always well taken care of and no one gets dropped. Wheels down at posted time as "Daylights A Burnin" so get there 15 minutes before. Any cancellation will be by 8:00am. No need to text me, just "show n go".
Coming from LIE take Ronkonkoma Ave. South, just over RR bridge make 3 right turns, parking is on right, corner of Railroad AVe and Ronkonkoma Ave.
Coming from Lakeland Ave. Sunrise Hwy., go North just pass Vets Hwy make right on Smithtown Ave (following alongside of airport), just before bridge make right on Railroad Ave, parking is on left side (go past one way entrance and make 1st available left into lot).

The route is about 35 miles with 1700 ft of elevation, so it's a little hilly. A 35 mile city ride with stops for sightseeing, food, and photos can be a longer day than you might expect. I hope to be back at the cars by 3pm.
Bring snacks and gels. There will be a bagel stop in Ft Lee, NJ and we'll eat at Strictly Cycles. Here's links to the most likely route:
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. In the Bronx, we are definitely riding the mean streets. If you have a fear of heights, bridges could be an issue, especially the RFK, but we will be taking them very slow.
This is a B+ ride ... not so much for the speed, but for the hills (+ bridges) and 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. The ride will be a "go" even if only one other rider is interested.
Please note the new ride-start location for this year. If you need an address for your GPS, then use 42-25 Vernon Blvd, Queens, NY 11101
If you want a general idea of what these city rides are like... here's a well-done video put together nicely by SBRA member Bob Emmerich on the last city ride:
So, it looks like Sunday will be a windy one, so why don't we play the wind avoidance game in Manorville and the Pine Barrens again? We'll hit some old favorites like Mill Road and Hot Water Street. Plan on a ride that's nearly non-stop except for some wait-ups, so we get warmed-up and keep on going!
I am posting at a B+ level mainly due to the rolling terrain, but we may come in at a B/B+ average. Stronger B/B+ riders are welcome to join along; there will be wait-ups!
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. At these speeds Pulling is Important ! I would like to keep the road speed between 16 - 17 mph and come in at an average 15 to 15.9 Good stuff after the rid
