Triangle to Oyster Bay

It was an awesome day on the bike with some excellent company (most of whom woke up before 5am so we could get to the ride start before NYC traffic started!). This was a beautiful route.  There was much excellent dirt and plenty of climbing.  Those of us who are more road/gravel oriented got several hundred extra feet of climbing by taking the paved way down Skiff Mountain. Those with better mountain bike skills chose the dare-devil, gravel descent (steep, winding, narrow, loose gravel, with potential uphill jeep/ATV traffic).

Thanks to Mark L for the spectacular route that he created in 2015 -- and his advice for further improving it prior to our ride today!
