    East wind forecast for Sat so this should be a relatively easy century.  We'll park at Blue Point Brewery and ride to Patchogue LIRR station (less than 1/2 mile away) and catch the 8:13am train to Montauk.  I plan to have breakfast on the train.  There's a Starbucks across the street from the brewery and a few Deli's/Bagel shops nearby.  Pls come early if you plan to get food for the train - the train won't wait for us. Lol

    We arrive Montauk at 10am and start riding.  There's an option to cut about 16 hilly miles off if you don't want to do the loop out to the lighthouse.  You can hang out in town for about an hour until we loop around.  Bailout option if you find it hard to finish.  There's a train that leaves Montauk at 3:43pm and makes all local stops to Patchogue.  You just need to ride to the closest station to get back to ride start.  

    Very scenic ride as I try to avoid Mtk Hwy as much as possible (see route below).  Food/Hydration/Rest Room stops about every 20-25 miles.  Paceline ride.  Group stays together.  No one gets dropped. Wait-ups after hills.

    Bring $$/credit card for lunch/food stops and train fare (I use the MTA TrainTime app to purchase tickets and to check train schedules.  App should be set up well before trip).  Pack sufficient hydration/food to eat along the way and start hydrating and carb loading at least 24 hours before ride.

    Call or txt if you have any questions (347-922-3824).
