    Details (RL read field instructions carefully): 

    I am posting this ride for the Montauk centuryPlease read carefully

    We will be leaving at 7:00 am
    Please arrive at least a half hour early so you can check in at the check in point and park your car.  Warning: Babylon LIRR station has metered parking that is monitored daily.  Please bring change/credit card for meters and make sure your inspection and registration is up to date.  They WILL ticket you.    

    If you are taking the train back this is where you need to come back to. Your bikes will be delivered here.
    Depending on the traffic you may arrive before the bikes so please wait.
    You should buy your ticket before boarding the train to avoid penalty fee.  You can purchase tickets at the station machine using cash/credit card (no ticket window) or use the MTA app called "TrainTime".  If using TrainTime app, please make sure you establish your account well before the ride.  The conductor won't wait for you to establish your account on the train.

    At the end of the ride there are plenty of places to eat and relax and you still need to get from town to the train station which is about a mile out of town. You can bring a bag with your clothes if you want to change when you get to Montauk so please make sure your bag can close and has your identification on the outside of the bag. Back pack is ideal for this.
    You will give your bag to Amy Olander who will be at the Babylon Train station and will take your bags out to Montauk.
    When giving your bikes to be loaded on the truck please remove anything that can easily break such as Garmins, mirrors or lights as SBRA is not responsible for any damage to those types of items even though the bikes are loaded with care!

    Pls note that the base Century route does not take you to the lighthouse.  I am providing a Century+ route option (125 miles) that will go out to the lighthouse (photo op), up to Gosman's Dock, around Fort Pond and then we'll take Mtk State Pwy back to Hither Hill before returning to town via Old Mtk Hwy.  Warning: This route will add another 1000 ft of climb to the base Century route which has 1900 ft.  I created this option as a training ride for my upcoming Double Century Attempt ride on June 22nd.  If you would just like to go out to the lighthouse and go straight back to town, it would add just another 12 miles and a few nice hills.      

    Last but not least for those of you that are taking the train back, you can try to take your bike on the train.
    There is a train at 3:16 pm and 5:19 pm that you can try to make if you don't want to wait for the later train.  Although bikes are permitted on these two trains, the conductor has the ultimate right to limit the number of bikes allowed.  The later train leaves at 7:42 pm but bikes are NOT permitted on this train.
