Starting from Ronkonkoma Station, the route travels east over mostly flat terrain though pine barrens towards the Big Duck, Long Island’s most famous zoomorphic ferrocement building. The route then turns westward toward Ronkonkoma on steadily rolling terrain along the North Shore of Long Island. The last 25 miles can be challenging, so save some energy for the finish. The Big Duck Hunt 110k and Ronkonkoma 200k will run simultaneously.
Ride Report
What a day! Amazing weather and record turnout for Long Island Randonneurs with 49 finishers across both routes.
⛴️ The Ronkonkoma 200K saw 36 riders finish, including 8 on their first brevet. They crossed the forks by ferry and stopped to smell the lavender. Two randos even rode 50 miles to the start from NYC.
🦆 The inaugural Big Duck Hunt 110K saw 13 finishers, with 7 completing their first populaire to the Big Duck and back.
A special welcome to all the new randonneurs who joined us, and thank you to all the volunteers and supporter who made this happen. See you at the next ride!
