Can you believe a near totally flat 100-mile ride? Here it is, with the added adventure of a ferry ride to Conners/Highland, New Jersey. Once in New Jersey, the ride covers a fast loop through the northern Pine Barrens. This ride will be very fast with only a brief stop around its midpoint. The route is fast and flat, the only negative being shore traffic. Possible on a fixed gear bike as well as an upper level B ride, but only the exceptional need apply.

Two optional excursions off the main route - the beach and a lighthouse - marked in blue on the GPS map.  The PDF cue sheet from RWGPS is more accurate and has mileage, but look at the original to get a sense of the flow of the ride.  Route starts at Queens Blvd. & Union Tpk. (formerly the Statue of Civic Virtue).

Return by L. I. R. R. train

Take an urban ride to the Rockaways for a picnic on the Boardwalk. Watch the surfers hit the waves. Pick up lunch at Boardwalk Bagel or find a choice of ethnic food at the boardwalk concessions.  Plenty of subway bailouts or the ferry from Seaside if you linger too long on the beach.
