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 is the slower version of Pats Ride to Babylon. The start is at Pats office/parking lot around the corner from the Sayville Train station and there is plenty of parking. We stop briefly at the docks in Babylon so bring a bar or something to snack on as there is no set food stop.
This is a scenic ride with stops to admire the view. There are hills and rollers but we won't leave anyone behind. Faster riders will have the opportunity to go ahead.
There are no bathrooms at the beginning of the ride. The first bathroom is at West Meadow Beach (mile 22). Bring your own snacks and drink - our stop is at the lighthouse.
We will be leaving the bank heading to Babylon. Our rest stop will be at the deli by the docks. This is a B- ride that will average around 15 mph with road speeds that will reach 16 to 18 mph. If you have any questions call or text Mike at 516 448-8545.
This will be a C+ ride, which will average 12.5 - 12.9, partly depending on the winds, the riders, etc. Since the exact route will be determined at the start, so there willnot be a cue sheet for this ride. We will ride part of Dune Road (direction determined by the winds that day) and then take our break in Westhampton at the Beach Bakery, where bathrooms and food are available.

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. The ride could end end up a mile or 2 over 30.
The average pace for the ride will be between 14.9 to 15.0 mph +/- depending on the roads, wind direction, rider ability, tailwinds, downhills, break-a-ways and other conditions.All of these conditions could change the final average one way or the other. Naturally, the road speed will be higher (15 -17 mph.) to produce the average.
IPlease 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. Good Stuff after the Ride.
