New Ride Calendar


MPBC Ride Leaders post official club rides to this calendar on a weekly basis throughout the year.  To sign up for a ride, please provide the leader your mobile number and emergency contact using the email and/or phone number listed in the posting. Riders must be MPBC club members to attend a posted or a Show & Go ride but we are allowing one free ride for potential members. If you would like to join MBPC you can do so by using our online form found here.

Typical rides are held (Tue/Thu/Sat/Sun & Holidays) at 8:30 am in the warmer months and 9 am in the cooler months. Ride times do vary, so please check our ride calendar for actual start times.

This ride is open to current members.
Let’s leave from Borella at 9:00 sharp and generally follow the route link. The route starts in Bethpage but we are starting at BORELLA and then taking Haypath East to Round Swamp South and picking up the route on Bethpage road heading east into Farmingdale. We’ll be on familiar roads during the first 20 to 25 miles and seldom travelled roads in the middle section near St. James and the Nissequogue river area. We’ll stop at the Bakery in St. James for a snack.
