Park in south side lot across from RR station.
Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the ride start, to allow enough time for me to get everyone signed in and to "get yourself" ready.
We ride out from Bellport to Smith Point following some usual roads, but on the way back detour a bit for a Mastic Meander taking the longer way to Osprey Point with lots of turns. From there we head north, pass by the airport, head to River Road and then up to Yaphank, before heading back south to Bellport. All and all, a neat 40 miles that combines areas with many turns with long stretches of riding.
We will not be making a stop to buy lunch during the ride, but there will be a number of stops along the way, so please bring food you may want or need as well as sufficient hydration. 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. Any updates or weather issues will be posted to the ride listing by 7:00 on the day of the ride.
