We will start at the Park, left side of lot (no leisure pass required at this time).

Expecting to ride at a low end B+/A-.

Ride is rated not for average speed (it will be lower) but

for the effort & bike handling skills needed on the climbs

and steep descents.

Riders are expected to be self-sufficient. Bring a friend if

you are concerned about having someone to ride with at

your own pace. Please download the route in case you ride

ahead or behind the group.

Come out and join me for this ride from Bellport to Cookie's Deli, where we will take our break. This is a C+ ride which will average 12.2 - 12.7 (depending on the wind and the riders), we will be observing spacing rules, etc.

NOTE #1: You must be a club member to go on club rides. 

NOTE #2: rides at this time are limited to 6-8 riders. 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

PLEASE READ the following:

The ride is relatively flat with a two mile optional down/up hill loop in Shoreham at the 3/4 point of the ride that some may want to wait out. Here’s the link: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/33536006. Take a look at the ride elevation profile.

The ride will be following the SBRA COVID-19 Guidelines. I would like to limit the group to five or six riders. I really would like to have any riders give me company ;-) but regardless, this  ride will follow the technique of "Riding Alone, Together" ... meaning we'll have 20' between riders as often as possible.  PLEASE text me with your rider information (Name, Member #, Emergency #, Cell #).  I will try to minimize calling out road hazards and be pointing to them instead … also with such a small group I will ask the warning of “car back” be only shouted out by the last rider and not repeated up the line. IF I don't receive any text messages I may vary the start time a bit.

You must have a mask on your person to do this ride ... I've been able to wear the multi-layer mask at ready as lowered around my neck while riding and would suggest you do the same.

The McDonald's at Wading River Road @16 & 20 miles is open and has one bathroom available. We'll be stopping for a scheduled break at the 20 mile point of the ride.

Check back later for more info and on the day of the ride before leaving the house. The ride start may be delayed due to forecast low possibility of rain.

The route is failry flat, maybe one gentle climb, some of the route is new to me!  No one will be dropped.  At mile 15 we will stop at a Deli in Quogue (never been there, but let's experiment!), Quogue wildlife park is at mile 20 (bathrooms).  We can also stop in Westhampton Beach if anybody wants to eat again.
