For cyclists interested in testing out a 200k brevet - - here's a local one with public access (LIRR to Ronkonkoma RR station).

And the route is flat, and pretty (south fork; then X Shelter Island, then north fork).

A legitimate NY state randonneur event, sponsored by a startup-branch of NJ Rando.

Join in and it will be an extra fun time!

He founded and captained the first U.S. team to race in the Tour of Italy and is a two-time U.S. professional champion. John worked for ESPN and ABC Sports as a cycling analyst for the Tour de France from 1992 to 2006 and is currently a race organizer and TV analyst.

He currently creates cycling races and Gran Fondos and has asked that we inform our members of the Putnam Cycling Classic.

Hi all,

 This upcoming Sunday (April 21st) is the 8th Annual Ghost Bike Memorial Ride, which happens in all 5 boroughs of NYC and honors the memory of cyclists and pedestrians killed by drivers in the past year.  

Welcome news -

It would be good to see that path brought back to life.
