    Details (RL read field instructions carefully): 

    Come join us for a new variation on the East End Ride series, as we head up to Springs and the scenic area by Gerard's Point.  We will head out on a journey that includes beautiful riding, amazing vistas, and the scenic inlet by Gerad's Point, and did I mention water views.  Weekday Southfork rides, like this one, start at the Hampton Bays LIRR train station (there is free parking) to avoid as much as possible the morning trade parade traffic jam that exists during the morning rush beyond Hampton Bays.

    Overall, we will be running much of the ride as more of a tour, enjoying the scenery, surroundings and views; nonetheless, riders should be able to maintain at least 15-16 mph on the flats when necessary (like our interludes on Montauk Highway). Our ride ends at the Amaganset train station, where we will take the train back to Hampton Bays.  Train ride is supposed to be a bit over 35 minutes.  Please bring funds for the train ticket and a bungee cord to hang your bike.

    We will be making a brief stop where one can hopefully buy some food (not sure it is open), so, its a good idea to bring some food, snacks and sufficient hydration. We will make a few stops where one will have time for a quick snack or sandwich, but we will have an eye to make sure we make our return train.  Most importantly bring an upbeat inquisitive attitude ready to explore and discover.

    To join the ride or if you have questions, please text Bill Mastro at 917-921-5358.  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.  Any updates or weather issues will be posted to the ride listing by 7:00 on the day of the ride.
