If you intend to join this ride you MUST pre-register.  Pls call or txt me at 347-922-3824 before 8pm Friday.

Ok - so here it is.  This has been on my "bucket list" for several years.  Please join me for this EPIC endurance adventure ride.  This is a somewhat scenic ride but the real focus is to ride efficiently and make it as far as we can within daylight hours (I don't intend to ride past 8:30pm).  I've tried to minimize hills but we'll still have about 5,000 ft of climbing if we complete the full route.  I've created a route that will provide several "bail-out" options if you/we can't complete the full course.

I'm planning to make 5-10 min stops about every 25-30 miles for hydration, restrooms and food but this may change as "nature" calls. There will also be at least 2-3 "real food" stops along this journey where more time will be allotted (I can't survive on protein bars and GU all day - LOL).  Avg speed should be in B+ range (17-18 mph) with a max cruising speed in the very low 20's; however, this is always subject to change based on weather/wind conditions.

Please pack proper hydration (at least 2 water bottles), food to eat along the way (Cliff Bars, trail mix, GU packs, etc) and some $$/credit card for real food (breakfast/lunch/dinner), ferries and possible train.  Pls begin nutrition/hydration routine 48 hrs prior to ride.  There is plenty of info on the internet about this.

Download route below and charge all batteries and bring additional charging blocks (if necessary).  I'm estimating this ride will take 13-14 hrs to complete (including break time).  Make sure your Garmin/Wahoo can last.  I'm sure everyone wants to record this ride.  The last thing you want if for your device to die before the end.        

We MUST keep the group together and work as a team.  My intent is not to drop anyone; however, based on past experience, some riders may not be able to finish the full double century for various reasons (muscle cramping, heat exhaustion, mechanical issues, etc.).  In this case, please have a back-up plan to get yourself home (spouse, friend, Uber, etc).  I also have a bail-out option once we reach the south fork.  There are several trains leaving Montauk in the afternoon that make all local stops back to Patchogue.  Pls download the MTA TrainTime app on your cell phone so you have access to the train schedule.

If anyone has any questions, please call.  Check website Friday evening for any possible changes.
