Go knock yourself out; I got tired just editing it.

You can start this ride at White Plains and save 21 miles.

Make sure you plan for this ride. Average riding speed and time spent at the four rest stops should be calculated carefully to estimate your time of arrival in Montauk. Also, there is very little shade on this route so watch the temperature, humidity, and rain forecast carefully Cue sheet 1 is in pdf format as odometer does not reset, meaning the total keeps running for the whole ride to the end. There are 6 maps all in pdf: 5 legs plus a map of Montauk. Check LIRR schedule for return.

Quite the ambitious route. You'll need a good weather day with lots of daylight and a one way ticket to New Haven. Potential bailouts at Brewster south on the Harlem Line.

Food and fluid stops on the map.

Manhattan to 30th Street Station, Philadelphia. This is a entirely different route than Newark to Philadelphia 98.

You will need to take either Amtrak or SEPTA/NJ Transit back to Penn Station in NYC.

Suggested food and water stops on the map.
