2032.0. "Long Island, New York - on Bikes" by RICKS::NORCROSS (Mitch Norcross, SEG/AFL/Systems) Fri Aug 09 1991 17:01

Hi.   My wife and I will be traveling through Long Island, NY 
     with our car and our bikes. We're looking for a few good
     half-day bike loops (and for tips on places to stay, and for
     anything else you might care to comment on).

  We plan on  spending  one  full day (two nights) on the north fork near
  Greenport/Southhold, one full day  (two  nights) on the south fork near
  East Hampton, and  one  full day (two nights) near Fire Island.  We are
  open to better suggestions.

  Does anyone have bike riding experience in these areas?  Are there bike
  trails on Fire Island (National Seashore)?

  BTW, We are  total  novices  at  this sport.  Any advice for novices on
  this kind of a trip?

  I just ordered a  copy  of  "Short  Bike Rides on Long Island" from the
  publisher:  Globe Pequot Press, Old Chester Road, P.O.  Box Q, Chester,
  CT 06412, Tel. 203-526-9571, $8.95., will arrive next week.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks,
/Mitch
