Come join us for what I hope will be a series of Out East rides over the next few months on the Southfork, Northfork, Shelter Island and at least one, maybe more rides to Montauk.  We start things off with a fun 45 mile Southfork ride.  All weekday Southfork rides like this one will start at 10:00 AM at the Hampton Bays LIRR train station (there is free parking) to avoid the morning trade parade traffic jam that exists during the morning rush beyond Hampton Bays. 

This ride heads out from Hampton Bays along some scenic roads through the Hamptons making its way to East Hampton, where we will stop for a break at Georgica Beach.  Please bring a sandwich or snack for the break.  From there, we eventually head north to one of my favorite roads, Bull Path, a very lightly traveled 2 mile plus road that starts with a climb at pretty easy grades followed by a truly fun three-quarter of a mile downhill run.  Hence, "Ride the Bull". 

We then make our way, mostly via back roads, to Bridgehampton with another climb just before the East Hampton airport.  Hopefully, we get to Bridgehampton with time to allow for an optional stop for ice cream, before heading over to the Bridgehampton train station, where we will take the 3:20 train back to Hampton Bays (fare is $3.25 regular or $1.50 senior).  Train ride is supposed to be about 23 minutes. 

Please bring sufficient hydration, a sandwich or snack for our break at Georgica, a bungee cord for the train and an upbeat inquisitive attitude ready to explore.  Also, pleaase let me know if you will be joining us, by texting me at 917-921-5358 9also text with any questions).  Registraion may have to be limited, as we don't want to overwhelm the train on the return trip.  I will share the final (i'm always tweaking) ridewithgps file with those who contact me.
