    Details (RL read field instructions carefully): 

    The plan is to bike out to Montauk from East Islip and take the LIRR back home.  Train departs Montauk at 2:51pm and is scheduled to arrive back at the Great River station at 4:58pm (3 min ride to BoA parking lot from station).

    I suggest riders bring two water bottles, some energy snacks for the ride and extra $$ for lunch.  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 to lighthouse, sitdown lunch in town, Gosman's Dock, etc.).

    Please check posting before leaving in the morning.  Any changes will be posted by 6am.  Ride distance/route might be altered due to weather/wind conditions.

     If you are interested in this ride or have any questions, please let me know by 9pm Tues.  The LIRR has the right to limit the number of bikes they allow on each train so I need to get a rough headcount.  You can call/txt my cell (see below) or you can send me an e-mail (jmworld1@gmail.com). 

    Special note: Riders will need a Bike Permit so you can bring your bike on the train.  The permit cost is $5 but it is good for life (unless you lose it) and it can be purchased on the train without a penalty fee.  You will also need to purchase a one-way off-peak ticket for ride home (approx $10) and should be purchased prior to boarding.  LIRR ticket machine is at the station.
