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.
A Haypath Park to East IslandEast Island 50 miles r/t |
Date: May 4, 2024 @08:30 Start: Haypath Park Leader: Jim Hugger Email: jhugger@optonline.net Phone: (516) 965-4857 Route Link: https://www.strava.com/routes/3218560179706443760 |
Notes: Arrive at Haypath Park before 8:30 (entrance on the south side of Haypath road a couple of blocks west of Old Bethpage road or Round Swamp road). Let’s aim to leave between 8:30 and 8:45 after the AA group rolls out. We will likely stop at East Island for a bathroom break (if the bathrooms are open) and then again at the shopping center in Glen cove to purchase drinks and light snacks if needed. Please text me your Emergency Contact number if you will be joining this ride. To celebrate MPBC’s 50th anniversary, there will be bananas and snacks available before the ride and a light lunch in Haypath Park after the ride. The club will also have fit kits on hand for the new MPBC 50th anniversary kits for those who want to confirm their sizes before ordering theirs. If you plan to join the festivities, please also RSVP at: https://airtable.com/appuWnqnOr6JpKFwb/pagFtDoSTPlieC2Jy/form |
