It’s time to get out of the city and head back to the farm. Two days of riding on quiet back-country roads. Post-ride farm dinner followed by our Saturday Night Dorm Party. Routes each day for beginners and experts. We stay on the campus of the University of Massachusetts. Optional transportation available from NYC. No fundraising required. Please come do this incredible ride before I muck it up. Beer throughout the weekend by our friends at Harpoon Brewery.

A Bicycling Magazine Cool Ride of the Month
The North Fork section of Long Island is, well, what the Hamptons must have been like back in the day -- working farms, vineyards, wineries...
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 four routes: 25 miles, 50 miles, 72 miles, or 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 25- and 50-mile routes are flat, Flat, FLAT. The 72 has one hill that any B-class rider can handle. The 100-mile route, which has three SWELL hills, but nothing dramatic...)
September 25th at 11:59 p.m.
If it’s been much too long since you saw a sunrise... If you’re ready to see the stars shine in a clear sky...
We’ll start riding just before midnight and pedal under the stars on roads lit by a full moon. These are quiet back roads lined by trees and marsh grass. There’s a beautiful old lighthouse. Several beaches. Some special views of the water. By dawn we’ll be out at the beach where we’ll have a pancake breakfast (included in the price of the ride) before finishing our ride.
This route is flat, Flat, FLAT. No hills on the 50-mile route; one hill on the 72 that any B-class rider can handle.
At last we’re ready to announce our secret location:
We’ll be in Orient NY out on the North Fork of Long Island. This is what the Hamptons must have once looked like -- farms, wineries, small towns...
For those of you familiar with our North Fork Century event we’ll be using a part of that route for this ride. Think you’ve already seen this route? Not at night you haven’t! Pancake breakfast will be at spectacular Orient Point Beach at dawn.
