Sands Point/Kings Point
Primary tabs

Keep the spring training going with a ride to one of the quieter spots to visit on the North Shore of Long Island. This ride provides training and scenery. In F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby (1925), Sands Point (Port Washington/Manhasset neck) was referred to as "East Egg". East Egg residents inherited their fortunes and were more highly respected than the nouveau riche in newer "West Egg" (Great Neck/Kings Point), because Sands Point had "old money"
This is a 45 mile ride originating in Queens. Even though we expect ride at 13-14 mph on the flats, we are classifying it as ADVANCED MODERATE because this is a HILLY ride. If you are not comfortable climbing multiple hills, this is not the ride for you....although you are rewarded with Gold Coast mansions and waterfront views.
ALL CLUB COVID RULES WILL APPLY STRICTLY SO MAXIMUM 12 + 2 leaders per ride and you must have masks with you and maintain 6 feet distance at stops.
IMPORTANT REQUIREMENTS: A reminder that you must register for the ride and that the exact start location will be forwarded to the registered riders. Please 'unregister' if you can not make the ride so waited list folks can move up and take the slot.
