Attention Long-haulers - here comes another adventure ride.  Plan is to ride along the north shore of LI from Port Jeff to Orient Pt.  We'll take 25A and Sound Ave most of the way to save time on the LI side (we've all seen these LI roads before).  I would like to shoot for the 9:30am ferry from Orient but there's a 10am just in case (after the 10am, ferry runs every hour).  Once we arrive in New London, we'll ride along the south shore of CT all the way to Bridgeport and then take ferry back to Port Jeff.  Quick 5-7 min stops approx every 25 miles.  To save some time, I suggest we grab a "meal to go" (2nd breakfast or very eary lunch) at Orient Country Deli and eat on the ferry.  Food is also available on the ferry but it's about twice the price.  I suggest everyone bringing a small string bag so you can safely carry your lunch to the ferry (4 miles).

Depending on time, I would like to make another food stop in CT (they also have a few Breweries along the way too).  They say some of the best pizza in the USA can be found in New Haven (Sally's, Frank Pepe and Modern).  I had take-out from Frank Pepe on Thurs and it was delish!! We can talk about it on the ferry. 

Free parking close to the ferry at the Barnum Parking Lot (corner of Barnum Ave & Caroline Ave).

Pls note:  RwGPS route shows 164 miles; however, that includes trip over the water on ferry.  We actually may need to add about 4-5 miles in CT to make the 150 target.  I also a buffer plan if for some reason we're running late.  We can cut off about 30 miles at the end if we need to.  MetroNorth (same MTA network as LIRR) runs a  train about every hour from New Haven to Bridgeport (4 stops /28 mins / Audult $4 and Senior $2 / no-charge for bike).

Ride out to Dunkin Donuts

It's time to visit Area 51 and that hotbed of alien cycling activity, the Golf Course...  This time it will be at a slightly easier pace.

We'll hit Route 51 and then make our way up the golf course.  Then it's a time trial down County Road 31 to a quick break in Westhampton Beach.

After a quick coffee/bakery commiseration break, it's a return via Old Country and back to Manorville.

Allons-y!

A very scenic ride, many waterviews.  

Bring plenty of hydration and food as we will not be stopping anywhere to buy.  We will stop at Horton Point for a break and I'm sure some of the beaches have bathrooms!
