Please park in the lot located on the north side of the station. The entrance is located at Parkside Blvd & Veterans Blvd.  No permit is required in this parking lot.  There's an entrance to the trail behind the parking lot.

This ride is mostly flat...with some hills, especially the closer we get to Plainview.  Since this is a shared bike path with pedestrians and other riders, a C+ should be a reasonable pace.  There will be a break in Bethpage Park before heading towards Plainview via the Bethpage Bikeway in Plainview.  Please bring ample snacks/water since there won't be a food stop.  There may be a possibility that the mileage can be increased to 24 miles.
