We ride from the Cunningham Park in Queens out to Long Island's North Shore. This is a pleasant, moderately paced (12-15mph) 50 mile ride with about 1700 feet of elevation gain. We eat lunch about half way at Delicious Pizzeria in Glen Cove (bike friendly, outdoor sitting) but there are other options nearby as well. We also stop for a quick fuel-up at around mile 8 at a bagel shop.

You have to be a club member to join us on this ride and you need a road bike or a light hybrid. No mountain bikes, no fat tires please.

We meet in the large parking lot in the Cunningham Park at 9:00am. We aim to start rolling no later than 9:15 so please do not be late. If you're coming late please text Adam DZ, number below, as soon as you realize that you might be running late. The ride ends when it ends, in the same spot.
