    Details (RL read field instructions carefully): 

    I am going to follow the new Ocean Parkway bike path, as it was written up in Newsday on July 30, 2021. We will depart from Captree Boat Basin and make stops at Cedar Beach Marina and Tobay Beach, where bathrooms are available. Our "half-way" point will be at Jones Beach State Park, where we will take our break. The Newsday article shows the round-trip ride to be about 27.5, so I am figuring 28 will be our distance. Since it may be a bit humid, you should have plenty of hydration with you. Due to the fact that this is a "mulituse" path, with pedestrians, runners, and skaters (to mention a few) using it, I have posted this as a C+ ride. As usual, the pace may also depend on the winds, who is in the group, etc.

    Park next to the greenway entrance in the west lot. Parking fee is $8; those over 62 are free (yea).  

    At the end of the ride, we may stop in at Tiki Joe's Beach Club, at the Captree Boat Basin, for a quick bite to eat.

    NOTE #1: You must be a club member to go on club rides.

    NOTE #2: I am limiting the number of riders on my rides, so you must text me with your name, SBRA Member Number, and Emergency Contact Phone Number if you want to ride, I will return the text: YES, you have a spot; NO, ride is filled. CELL #: 631-523-2129.

    If there are any changes, I will text everyone on the ride, as well as post them on the Ride Calendar.
