Century Ride to Montauk
 

Sorry if this isn't the correct forum, but does anyone know any good routes for fixed gear or tips or links? I was thinking of leaving from Freeport but not exactly sure the best place to start.

cant really help with the route - but it will be the same whether you're riding fixed or geared...

i dont know how others feel about this, but i've been having good luck planning routes with google maps, and the bike route feature. combine that with the satellite view to determine how busy a street will be usually provides good results. good luck!

I agree! Google maps has been a win for finding good routes for me as well. Sometimes I don't even plan it, but pick an end point, and use google maps on my iPhone along the way.

depending on where you ride, this can get you in trouble though, i was riding the other day with what i thought was a good set of directions, and the next thing i knew i was on a highway onramp, it was tricky to turn around from there. but, in total, google has been pretty good to me.

OH wow! Adds to the thrill of the experience I suppose. I've definitely ended up in bad situations with my map app, but nothing like that. Figuring it out as you go does sound appealing.

perfect. thanks

Those cue sheets will certainly get you there, but it won't be the most scenic of routes. Consider taking 25A to 25, then to 24 before linking up with Montauk Highway. Lots of farmland up there, and you can follow the coast for parts of it. The north shore is nicer anyway.

Will do. Thanks for the tip
