The ride starts and finishes at the LIRR Parking Lot in Bethpage (down the street from Bike Junkie). The ride will start promptly at 6 AM. Bike inspection is at 5:30 AM (see RUSA brevet rules below).
Over mostly flat terrain, the ride heads straight up into Long Island’s Gold Coast then straight east on the North Fork, all the way to Orient Point State Park before turning and taking a more central route on the return through the pine barrens with some nice rollers on the run back into Bethpage. Lastly, to be an official finisher, you have 20 hours (until 2:00 AM on Sunday morning) to finish the ride and present your completed brevet card to event staff at the final controle, Three Brothers Pizza, in Bethpage. Note, the pizza parlor closes at 10PM. The finish then moves to the LIRR parking lot where we started.
This ride will be unsupported on the road, but services will be available at most checkpoints and we’ll have food at the start and finish. Most controles offer food/beverage/restrooms. We’ll also have a small selection of lights, batteries, tires, tubes and other merchandise for sale at the start, in case you forget something. Please note that food, water, supplies are available up to 15 minutes before the 6 AM start.
