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.

Details (RL read field instructions carefully): 

The other BBB (Bike, Boat, Brooklyn) returns.

We meet at the east end of the Long Beach Boardwalk at Neptune Blvd.  This route will go Long Beach Boardwalk (BW), Atlantic Beach (BW), Far Rockaway (BW)... then we'll board a 10:15am NYC Ferry from 108th Street in Far Rockaway and disembark in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.  From there we ride back along the Belt Parkway Bike Path, under the Verrazano Bridge, then onto some city streets to Nathan's in Coney Island for the official pitstop.  

From there... the ride continues back through Coney Island, Sheepshead Bay, Belt Parkway Bike Path, over the Marine Bridge, the Far Rockaway Boardwalk from beginning to end, Atlantic Beach Bridge to Long Beach Boardwalk and done.  

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.

It's about 40 miles of riding (57 if you count the miles on water). Here's a link to the route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/31065458

The NYC Ferry has an 8-10 bike limit.  If we have too many bikes to fit on the ferry… then we ride straight to Nathan’s and return via Howard Beach back to the Rockaways.  That route would be more like 50 miles of riding.  Here's the link to that route:  https://ridewithgps.com/routes/25421733

This is an RSVP ride.  I would like to know as early as possible if

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.
