I am posting this ride to see if there is any interest. You MUST contact me if you are interested in doing this ride (347-922-3824). If there is no interest, I may cancel or modify the ride.
The plan is to bike to Montauk from the Blue Point Brewery in Patchogue one-way and take the LIRR back home. Trains depart Montauk at 3:30pm and 5:37pm. There is also a 7:37pm but bikes are NOT permitted on this train.
I suggest riders bring two water bottles, some energy snacks for the ride and extra $$ for rest stops/lunch/train fare). We will make hydration/rest stops approximately every 20-25 miles. Depending on when we arrive in Montauk (and what shape we're in when we get there - lol) we can discuss options, Extend ride out to lighthouse and make it a Century, sit-down lunch in town, Gosman's Dock, etc.
Pls note that the LIRR has the right to limit the number of bikes they allow on each train (there are NO guarantees); however, I’ve done this ride many times and never had a problem.
Too Lazy to deal with 19 mph wind ... So into the woods for me ... I'll ride at the rate of the slowest rider who shows up ... UNLESS they're faster than me ;-) ... Will do only diamonds that are Intermediate level ...
Contact me (text or call) at 631-988-6557 if you plan on showing.
NOTE 1: Since organized rides on multi-use trails have NOT previously have been posted I am limiting this ride to five other riders. If you want to be on this ride you must contact me at 631-988-6557 (text or call) or email at [nsamuels@optonline.net].
NOTE 2: The Ride Start has been be moved to the west end trail head of the North Shore Rail Trail ... one mile less in each direction on the road.
Only ~10 miles of this ride will be on the road! The North Shore Rail Trail is not flat and neither is the southern leg of the Calveton (Grumman airfield) trail. Come explore these two bike paths.
R & R planned to be at the Bean & Bagel. If you have anything left at end of the ride you can do the hills of the Setauket Greenway trail as a "bonus".
You must let me know you're planning to do this ride ... text me at 631-988-6557.
Check back to this posting as I will post the RideWithGPS link later this week and always good to check back anyway as Life Happens and Things Change!
Going to Manorville today. A rest/ food stop at McDonald’s or the bagel shop is on the schedule around mile 13. There are a few places along the route for a break-a-way for those who wish to do so. Pulling is always appreciated for those who want. The route we take to Manorville will depend on the wind direction. This will be a "B" ride with the average speed between 15 & 16.
