April 28-29, Bike Trip, Shelter Island, Shelter Island NY
The plan is to gather at Greenport early Saturday morning (get there by car or jitney). Then we'll bike around Shelter Island, which is really beautiful with untravelled country roads. The island has sea vistas and gently rolling hills, but it's mostly fairly flat, and there's a large, wild nature preserve that we could explore on foot (bikes are not allowed in the preserve). For those up for more biking, the South Fork of Long Island that includes the Hamptons and Montauk is a short ferry ride away. For those staying overnight, we'll stay at a motel on the beach near Greenport.
