EAST ISLAND

Leaders Ira Najowitz and John Chiarella.

Last Seastreak cruise for the year and we’re going. Nice stretches, with some busy traffic and some hills. We’ll go through several Monmouth county towns, plus selected sights. Bring $39 for round-trip fare, sunglasses, sunscreen, lock, $ for lunch and swim gear for North Beach, maybe a camera. Make sure your bike is in good condition. Minimum pace 12mph. Co-listed with NYCC. Leaders Alfredo Garcia and others.
THE OLD PUT METRIC CENTURY TO YORKTOWN HEIGHTS
8AM, Woodlawn (Jerome and Bainbridge Aves), 66 miles
This is a regular point-drop-sweep metric century version of the popular new “old put” quick spin full century (see Sept 1st). Come enjoy the fall colors, support the rail-to-trail movement. Bring lunch or $ for it and your MTA bike pass just in case. Leaders Ed Defreitas and Jesse Brown.
FIVE TOWNS RIDE
9AM, Doughnut Plant, 50 miles

TEATOWN LAKE BIKE/HIKE
8:25AM, Grand Central, 26 very hilly miles
For those of you who have done my ride to Chappaqua, this will seem familiar, but with an added attraction: quality time at Teatown Lake Reservation (teatown.org) in Ossining for some hiking. While the ride starts at Croton-Harmon, to allow for hiking time, the ride will end in Bedford Hills, after 26 miles. For those of you not familiar with this terrain it is VERY HILLY, though we will take our time reaching the peaks. We’ll lunch in Chapaqua, perhaps running into their most famous residents. Bring a lunch and snacks (Lunch will be on the late side.) Leaders Brian Hoberman and Ed Ravin.
Sunday, October 7th
GREEN SPACES AND NICE ICES
9AM, Kew Gardens, 30 miles
We have pleasant riding through Eastern Queens neighborhoods and nearby Nassau county to one of the island’s oldest state parks. Stop at Guido’s Deli for lunch, and later we will stop at “Nice Ices” on the way back. Moderate pace and flat terrain. Leaders Martial Henrys and Owens Ridges.
