Most of the routes out of Southaven to Netties go up and down the inlets on the South Shore, that are beautiful in the Summer but are freezing and windy in cold weather. We will stay north of Montauk Hwy the entire ride.
It's gonna be too cold for an Orient Point ride this Sunday, so let's do more local roads and neighborhoods (and a few less miles) in order to stay warm! It's the off-season, after all.
