This will be a C+ ride that will average 12.2 - 12.7. My route is not definate yet - perahps a loop around Ronkonkoma and down to Sayville. The weather will help decide where we go. There will be a bathroom/snack break wherever we go.
MOM, B+. Cruise 20, avg 18-19. Rest stop at mile 22 at Wildwood Lake. Wait ups as needed but the last one will be at the stop sign intersection of Connecticut, Halsey Manor, and Mill Rds.

This may be the last opportunity to ride the FIREHOUSE 44 for this year. Group effort for a steady pace within the class guidlines. Short stop at the Exxon/7-11 station at mile 27. Looks to be mild temps with a nice tailwind going out; the 17 miles back are mostly sheltered from the wind. Hope you'll join for a fun group ride.
Check back to this posting ... esp. if the wind picks up ... there may be a need for a substitute Ride Leader as I could end up in the woods ;-) .. . The route will go down Rt 25A and then west to Berman. The roadwork over Forge river/Dam Rd should be complete? We'll at least ride there to inspect ;-) .
Shared pulls will be expected ...

Let's take advantage of the predicted mild weather, and meet at The Maples to do another Manorville to Mattituck (MTM) paceline ride. This time around we'll make the end point at the Goldberg's Bagels in Mattituck.
Along the way East, we'll visit The Tanks and then do a run along Sound Avenue.
After a stop for a bagel or coffee in Mattituck, we'll make our return along the Peconic Bay. And we'll pass the Adirondack Chairs on our way to Riverhead. Then it's a final run up Route 24 to the finish!
After today's windy ride, I've rerouted the return to try to avoid the wind! The pace has also been also dropped a bit, since we've already had a hard ride!
This will be a nice controlled paceline ride from The Maples to Briermere Farms, where we'll have a Muffin Stop at around 18 miles. Let's ride together as a team, so no one is left alone in the wind!
The route eastbound will take us out through the farms. The return will take us through Riverhead and along Route 25 and River Road to the finish.
Off to Bean and Bagel, riding on mostly local streets in Calverton and Manorville, and the Grumman Trail. To join, text Bill G. at 631-356-3036 with your full name and date of ride. Check the ride calendar the day of the ride for changes, which would be posted by 7:45am.
Let's take advantage of this record breaking weather. We'll ride the wind from the Riverhead Waterfront out to Greenport. On the way back we'll stop for a quick beer at Greenport Harbor Brew Co. (we'll need some liquid carbs to help us fight the wind back). Only one beer per person - we still need to be safe on the road. If we have time at the end of the ride, we'll see what the Riverhead Brew House has to offer.
We will be leaving Bank of America and head to Great River and East Islip for a 24 mile ride. The ride will be at a B- pace with an average speed of around 14.5 to 15 mph and road speeds that will reach 16 to 18 mph.

A scenic ride to the Nissequogue beaches. No food stops, so bring snacks. I'm not sure that restroom and water stops are still open so be prepared. We'll cruise at a brisk B- on the flats and we'll slow or wait as needed on the hills. We'll be patient so this is a good ride to work on your hill skill.
Join us for pizza after the ride - cash only!

Annual Officers and Directors final Nominations and Election Night
Officers and Directors Nominations will be presented again by the Nomination Committee as was done at the October meeting. If you are interested in running for a position on the board, you can still step up and be nominated at the November meetings. Just have a fellow member nominate you when the nomination committee or president asks if there are any other nominations from the floor.
Once the request for nomination from the floor has been asked and answered, no other nominations will be accepted. If there is only one SBRA Member running for each board position then the SBRA Secretary will cast a single vote for each position, which will represent the vote on behalf of the membership. Should more than one SBRA Member run for a particular board position, then an electronic voting process will take place. An electronic voting process shall be an email sent out to all SBRA Members on the day following the November meeting. The email will provide a link to an online voting page. Online voting will be open for (1) week, from November 8th through November 14th at 9:00 pm. Following the end of the voting period, all newly elected Officers and Directors will be notified. An email will also be sent out to the membership announcing the new board and will also be announced at the December "IN PERSON" holiday social meeting on December 5th at 7:00 pm.
All newly elected Officers and Directors shall take office at the January 2025 SBRA General Meeting.

This is a B+ ride however we will be bringing it back down to a true B+ which is between a 17 and 17.9 Average..taking it down for the colder days..Most likely will be mid 17 average.
*** the route has been change due to the contruction on Halsey and Mill. We will add the mileage to the back end of the route. No Mill or Halsey or Silas Carter today..
Calverton is one of the best begineer trails on Long Island, even the Black Diamonds (BD) are only Intermediate level. As a begineer there's only one BD that I might lead you down if you are so inclinded (it's really a decline ;-). If no Beginneers show than this will be an Intermediate ride.
This venue requires a DEC parking permit (haven't seen anyone being checked for a long time though). Easy to obtain a permit here: https://www.sbraweb.org/node/6490
If you don't have a permit you can park ~ 1/2 mile away at the Veterans Memorial Park and ride over.

How about a ride to Cupsogue Beach to enjoy the mild weather and a near empty Dune Road?
So we'll meet at the Dayton Avenue School and ride in a paceline down to Westhampton Beach. We'll then cross over the safer Beach Lane bridge, and then it's a long run west down Dune Road to Cupsogue.
The return takes us back through Westhampton Beach, with a possible stop at the Beach Bakery at around 29 miles. We then continue up the Casa Basso to Montauk Highway, and eventually Frowein Road back to Moriches-Middle Island Road and on to the finish.
This will be an easy C+ ride around Center Moriches, that will average 11.8 - 12.5 and will be taking our break at Nettie's. There are some very nice water views along the way.

There will be a break at the Quogue Wild Life Preseerrve where one can eat a sandwich or a snack. However, some of us after the ride may stop at Little Gull at the Speonk LIRR parking lot for their amazing pancakes.
I am finally recovered from the respiratory infection and this is my first ride back, so the pace will probably be a bit slower than usual.
Please bring plenty of hydration, snacks or a sandich for our food break, the usual bike requirements and an upbeat inquisitive, fun attitude, ready to explore, discover.

After our Riverhead stop, on the return loop we'll try to avoid the wind by zigzaging around the back roads of Riverhead to River Road and then back to the finish.
IF anyone is having troubles keeping-up, we will slow the group to keep them with us! Since it may be windy, we can always change the route and decrease the miles - depending on the group!

Let's head out east for a late season ride from Hampton Bays to Montauk, a Montauk half century. The ride will leave at 10:15 from the Hampton Bays LIRR station parking lot to give us a little more warmth in the day. The forecast for Sunday at the time I am listing the ride, is for sunny skies with temps in the high 50's and most importantly winds from the west. Check back closer to the ride as the the ride is unpleasant if winds switch to the east (in that case likely would be cancelled).
The ride is around 50 mostly scenic, miles, including the fun rolling hills on Old Montauk Highway with some great views towards the ocean. Ride will keep a steady pace, but won't overly rush as we want to enjoy the tour out East. Once we get to Montauk, we take the LIRR back to Hampton Bays (train is at 3:43). Please be sure to bring money for return ticket and a bungee cord to secure your bike on the train.
Bring some food, snacks and sufficient hydration. We will have a brief stop at Goldberg's Bagels in Wainscott on the way . Most importantly bring an upbeat inquisitive attitude ready to explore.
Please text Bill Mastro at 917-921-5358 with any questions and to let me know you will join us (might have to limit participation because of train). I usually forward a final ridewithgps file to those who contact me.
