Take advantage of one of the last days of Daylight Savings Time and join us as we head to a favorite location, Old Field Lighthouse. This is a wonderful, scenic ride not to be missed. The ride may be accessed by either automobile or public transportation (LIRR).

The ride makes its way from Ronkonkoma north by Stony Brook, to the historic Setaukic area and up around scenic Strong’s Neck where we usually stop for a snack and say hi to the turtles. From there we head up to Old Field Lighthouse and then over to the hidden area by Cranes Neck. On the way back we will be taking a new route, but even though we miss the hill by Head of the Harbor, there are plenty of other hills to climb. Ride is listed as Advanced, given that the ride does have hills. Pace will be more like a high moderate.

The ride meets by no later than 10:00 in the SOUTH side parking lot of the Ronkonkoma train station, by the elevator and ticket machine. A train from the City is scheduled to arrive at 9:53. If you are driving there are lots of free spots in the huge Ronkonkoma parking lot.

Please bring lunch or snacks for our stop by the turtles which is early in the ride and not near any food outlet. Also bring sufficient hydration and the usual bike gear. Most importantly bring an upbeat inquisitive attitude ready to explore new and unknown areas.
