Optional transportation from NYC for your bike and you
Friends, it has been a long year, but at last -- it is ON! The North Fork Century will take place on Sunday May 22, 2021.
The North Fork section of Long Island is, well, what the Hamptons must have been like back in the day -- browse through the photos of the North Fork ride route on each page of this web site to see what we’re talking about. We'll ride on low-traffic quiet country roads through lush farmland and past wineries, small towns, and along the coast of the Sound.
You'll have your choice of routes from 13 - 100 miles. Everyone starts pedaling the ride together on the same
roads -- you can decide right in the middle of the ride which distance you want to do.
The route is flat, Flat, FLAT... no significant hills at all on the 40 or 50--mile routes, one modest hill on the 70-mile route that any B-class cyclist can handle, three short but nasty hills on the 100-mile route. (But nothing you would write home about...)
(Continued Below)
We will also be serving energy drink donated by our friends at Nuun. I’d never tried the stuff, so I went out and bought some (you know... with my own money...) and gave it a shot during my trip through the Riff Mountains in Morocco. (Giant climbs in 90 degree heat...) I can only tell you that this stuff worked -- not sure I would have made it otherwise. We get offered lots of sports drink -- this is the stuff I put in my own mouth. (By the way... is there any more pretentious conversation starter than, “There I was... pedaling through the Riff Mountains in Morocco...”)
All the details are here on this web site in excruciating detail, or just go here for the short version!
