Rescheduled from July 5th:
Are you ready for a challenge??? This will be the first of a few long distance rides that I plan to post over the summer. It really depends on how much interest people have with this type of ride. The ride will start in Bellport and we'll do a round-trip out to Montauk. I plan on taking the southern route on the way out (Dune Rd) and then a more direct route back home (mostly Mtk Hwy). Route is always subject to change depending on weather but this is the general plan.
We will have a few quick rest stops along the way but I would like to keep these brief. We'll have a longer "lunch break" in Montauk before heading home. Please bring sufficient food/fluids with you as there will be no SAG support, however, you will be able to purchase items at most stops. Bring some $$$$.
I plan to keep the group together - no one gets dropped on this ride. However, if you feel you may not make it back on your own, please make alternative arrangements (i.e. have someone pick you up, UBER, LIRR, etc.). Note re LIRR: You will need to purchase a $5 LIRR Bike Permit that's good for LIFE. This permit can be purchased on the train. Please check schedule to ensure know the departure times of the various stations along the way.
If you are interested in this ride, please reach out to me at least a day before the ride (my cell number is listed below). I would like to know approximately how many riders are coming as I'll need help pulling (especially on the way home) Lol.
