Saturday, August 22 '09:

Good ride around the Flying Point Beach area of Southampton today. The day started out looking miserable, weatherwise, but a friend convinced us to head out east and chance that Hurricane Bill wasn't going to screw up the whole weekend.

The day turned out to be a perfect blend of very hot sun and frequent, refreshing breezes. Also, the surf being kicked up by the storm was mind-blowing to watch at certain points in the day.

Anyway, the roads out there, particularly Flying Point Road, are pretty good for beach-hopping. Of course, we are just summer homeless riff-raff, so we didn't get to do the whole Hamptons scene. But the ride was still very enjoyable. I can't recommend a specific route, but if anybody still has an opportunity to get out there this summer, I'd give it a three-quarter-assed recommendation!

I may try to get back out there after the summer ends. At the end of July we did the wounded soldiers ride which went from Amagansett to Sag Harbor and back, with an extened ride to Montauk. Sort of a figure 8 route.
Last week we did the north fork last week and managed to get in two short but nice rides. One was a 20 mile loop of Southhold, pretty much right off the town cycling map which combined their bay view and sound view rides. The other took us by ferry to Shelter Island, where we rode to Rams Head and back.

Why not do our supported ride on September 26th?
