    Details (RL read field instructions carefully): 

    Let's take advantage of the relatively milder temps forecasted for Wed and favorable SW wind.  We'll leave from the Speonk LIRR station and head east toward Montauk.  We'll ride through Westhampton and take Dune Rd to Hampton Bays.  We'll take the scenic roads through Southampton and Bridgehampton (I try to avoid Mtk Hwy as much as possible).  I'm not sure how far we'll get but I need to catch the 11:30am train from Montauk that arrives Speonk at 12:46pm.  That train makes all local stops to Speonk so we can catch it at East Hampton (11:54am), Bridgehampton (12:04pm) or Southampton (12:13pm).  Once we get back to Speonk, for those who have time, I'm planning to have a quick lunch at Little Gull Cafe.  This little gem is located in the old Speonk LIRR Ticket Office.  Park on the east side of the station near the restaurant. 

    Please bring sufficient hydration/food and $$ for train ticket.  Bike permits are no longer required for the LIRR.

    Please call or txt if you plan to join (347-922-3824).  If there's not enough interest I may change or cancel this ride.  Changes will be posted by 7am day of ride.
