Our ride takes us to a destination rarely visited by the NYCC. Flat route to Old Westbury, then the usual short hills through Glen Cove and Lattington to Morgan's Island overlooking the L.I. Sound. Stop @ Pryibil beach. Lunch in Locust Valley. There is still plenty of fall foilage out on the Island. To get to the start by subway, take the E or F (preferably F) train to the Union Turnpike stop. Exit towards the front of the train. Once through the gates at the token booth, go left and left again to exit at the "Court House". The statue is right at the top of those stairs.

Hi,

I was interested in a ride and wanted to contact the ride leader, but on the form/ride page, there's no link to contact by email. Is there a member list so that I may contact that way instead?

Thank you,
Ger

how a ride is created

Submitted by JCampos on Fri, 11/12/2010 - 10:57am

Hi. Just curious how rides are created and made into cue sheets? Are most of these rides measured with a Garmin? If anyone could share with me the steps involved, that would be great! Thanks.

Start late (10:00) so the warmth of this unseasonably warm day (or else I wouldn't be riding) will have arrived.

Pace? I'm already in mid-winter form.
