Our annual Montauk bike trip is on. We are going to bike the length of Long Island from Queensboro Plaza to the Montauk lighthouse in one day. A super fun 145 miles. We will bike along the south shore of Long Island stopping for coffee, brunch and beer along the way.
We will start at 5:30am from Queensboro Plaza and try to arrive in Montauk around 6pm.
Average pace will be 15mph but we might not stick together as people will be going at different paces over the 140 miles and some people might get tired and end up taking the train to Montauk if it gets too late.
There is a shorter option if you don’t want to do the 145 miles by meeting us at Bay Shore for 80 miles or Hampton Bays for 40 miles.
We will stay overnight In Montauk. You can arrange your own accommodations or share a room with the group. I will most likely book a few rooms. I will collect the money for the hotel end of September.
I will post a WhatsApp chat for the group the week of this trip.

Accomodations
I will book accommodations closer to the date. We will stay at a motel in Montauk. Haven't picked one yet. I estimate to be about $100 to share a spot but it depends on the hotel rates in Montauk when I book the room. Again you can book your own if you want.
