Plan to arrive a little early as the lot will fill fast this weekend; If the lot is filled when you get there ... drive down to Whiskey Road, head west and park at the small lot at the end of the field or on the north shoulder ... avoid parking in the community on the south side of Whiskey Road.

You need a DEC Access/Parking pass to ride in Rocky. To my knowledge there was not much checking last year but the early part of the season is more likely to be when they check your front windshield for parking.

As usual I'll be the Ride Organizer and not the lead rider depending on who shows. I plan to skip the west side loop. Regardless of your ability you can always hang with me as I'm slower than lots of faster riders. We'll skip some of the Black Diamonds. SBRA insurance requires that Mtn Bike riders MUST sign a Ride Sign In sheet for each Mtn Bike ride. 

PLEASE text [631-988-6557]/email me at [nsamuels@ optonline.net] include your name, SBRA #, EMERGENCY # and your cell #. I will fill out the Ride Sign In sheet and you will only have to sign it.

We are doing this ride today because Thursday was cancelled. When you arrive Please use the South and East parking spots first. Leave the West spots for customers. Today's Mi Tierrita ride will be going to the marina. The route is mostly flat with a small incline here and there and of course there must be one little hill. The average pace for the ride will be between 14.0 to 14.8 +/- mph, depending on the roads and wind direction. There will be a break-a-way for those that want to go.

The road speed will be between 15 and 16 mph. If you want to go faster there are faster rides posted. As alway pulling is appreciated, but not required. We'll stop along the way for a bathroom break around mile 10. Don’t forget to bring a snack. Do you know what AGUAPANELA is? Come and find out. 

Any cancellation due to weather or any other circumstance will be posted no later than 0745 if necessary. If you have questions about the ride just TEXT me at 631.484.3490. Eventually my phone and I will do a meet and greet in a reasonable amount of time...

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. 

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. If you want to bring stuff for after the ride please do. Weather permitting!

CHANGE: The start is the RR Station, as usual.

I have clearance from my doctor to ride, so I am back on the saddle again. This will be a slow and easy ride from Sayville to Oakdale or Patchogue - destnation to be decided the morning of the ride. We will take a break somewhere and we will stop at a bathroom when/if needed. 

This is a C- ride which will average 10-11, depending on how I feel, as well as the wind and the riders.

NOTE #1: I am limiting the number of riders on my rides, so 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

I'll be doing Susan's ride plus a few miles if it's NOT raining at the start. Text me if you plan to be there.
