    Join me for this car free scenic D ride along the new eastern section of the Ocean Parkway Greenway. We will ride from Captree State Park to Tobay Beach (18 mile round trip). If it becomes windy we will shorten it to Gilgo Beach (15 mile round trip).I haven't ridden it myself, but I hear its spectacular. So lets get out and enjoy it before the crowds appear.

    A few Notes:

    1.   Start at Captree State Park, after the toll booth go around the circle to the northern main parking lot, not the overlook lot mentioned in the actual start info. There will be a pavilion of some sort and tons of bike racks at the start of the path. This was suggested by the park office.

    2.   There will be an $8 parking fee unless you have an empire pass

    3.    If the forecast becomes unfavorable (windy) Saturday morning, I will cancel and switch to a 15 mile meander from Timber Point Golf Course to Islip Beach, start time also 10:30. Please be sure to check the website before leaving for the ride.

    Please bring water, spare tube, and a snack if you wish, to enjoy trailside.

    There will be a bathroom at Captree State Park.

    As Always,  please check back here for any changes before leaving for the ride

    We will be observing social distancing, and you must have a face covering with you.

    Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the ride start, so we can get rolling on time
