Now that it's November, we'll be doing the later start for warmer temps, hopefully.
You know the drill: this is the Kreb ride to The Maples. Cruising UP TO 22mph on the flats; stay together and regroup as necessary to get to 18.9 avg or below at end of ride. Optional sprint on Sills Rd, then regroup after Gazzola turn.
If it's your first time on this ride, please download route and bring a friend; no sweep on this ride.
Enjoy a scenic trip exploring both sides of the Nissequogue. Half the ride is flat and we'll cruise at a brisk B-. We'll take as much time as you need on the climbs, slowing or waiting as necessary. Faster on the downhills. Bring enough snacks as needed for the mileage. There are 2 restroom/water stops and an optional lunch if the group desires.

This is our annual Halloween Ride, with a party afterwards inside the Ecology Center.

However, the party is optional so please do not let that stop you from coming on the ride.
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. There are a couple of detours that will be discussed before ride start. Remember, a steady B+ pace is key, without surging. This may be my last ride lead for a while so, like life, let's have fun and enjoy the ride. If there are weather concerns, check this post on Monday morning around 7 am for any updates and/or changes or text me at that time. Hope to see you there.
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 ...

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.
GUEST SPEAKER: SBRA Member Trevor Sears will be doing a presentation about the group trip to Italy, with pictures and a short video. The SBRA November General Meeting will be held as an "IN PERSON" meeting, on Thursday, November 7th at 7:00 pm. Please join us for this IN PERSON meeting for a chance to see some of your fellow SBRA members that you may not have seen for a while. We hope to see you at the meeting!
Off to Briermere's, which has picnic tables and restrooms. On the way we make a quick viewing stop at the Bison Farm, hopefully the bison will be in a pasture viewable from the road. If enough riders are in the mood to split the cost of a pie, we will do that. Briermere's also has a number of individually sized baked goods that are available for purchase, as well as coffee and tea. To join this ride, 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 07:15am.
