5BBC Montauk Century 2010 5BBC Training Ride SeriesWe may joke and enjoy ourselves a lot, both on bicycle and off -- but we take our traditions seriously. That's why every Spring the 5BBC Training Ride Series take us to the roads and the hills, carefully staged to make us stronger for the 5BBC Montauk Century. It's always a good idea to train for a flat century ride by riding, and including hills in that regimen. So get savvy, and get with the 5BBC spirit! Our training rides start in Manhattan at Columbus Circle or in Eastern Queens at Cunningham Park. The more quality cycling you do early in the season, the more fun you'll have on May 16th. And don't forget to prepare for our training rides! Bring a spare water bottle or a full hydration pack, plus spare tubes, pump, bike lock, and money for lunch. You also must wear a helmet to participate. Remember that most 5BBC rides use the point-drop-sweep method. However, we usually chuck that rule on the quick-spins, for faster riders (often 17+mph). Can't keep up with the fast kids? Relax and ride at your own pace (usually 13-14 mph) with the regular groups. And here's one more reminder: For Queens rides, please bring an MTA Rail Pass in case you need to bail out and take the train back to Queens.
