- 8AC/135050.050.00Shelter Island ShuttleJeff Munk
The Shelter Island Shuttle has become a "Rite of Passage" for new members and a traditional premier event for all members for over two decades. If you're a returning member to this ride, you'll want to do it again. If you're new to the club or just visiting, you're going to want to do this special ride! It's one of the club's more popular rides and you don't want to miss out on it. It only happens once a year. We meet at the New London ferry terminal at around 8:00-8:15 am to catch the 9:00 am ferry to Orient Point. Once on Long Island, we'll ride from Orient Point to Greenport to catch the North Ferry to Shelter Island. On our arrival on Shelter Island we will first cycle to our lunch stop before continuing on our way. We'll be cycling on mostly flat terrain with only a few rollers and a couple of minor hills scattered around the island. There are optional lengths for different paced rides. Due to the nature of the touring and social aspects of this ride, all rides are generally ridden at the low end of their respective paces. The entire ride is done in segments with stops for ferries, lunch and the beach - Crescent Beach, our traditional stop. After leaving the beach, we head back to Orient Point for the cruise back to New London. Far more detailed information that MUST BE READ can be found at: https://www.soundcyclists.com/shelter_island.htm Ride Schedule registration is required. Again, please read the details provided in the link above.
