SUMMARY:

Please join us for a day of cycling 15 miles around the beautiful rolling countryside of Block Island.  Most riding will be on paved roads but there are a couple of miles on dirt where larger tires might be better.  Highlights include North Lighthouse, Southeast Lighthouse, Black Rock Beach and Mohegan Bluffs.  Make a weekend out of it and book local accommodation for the nights of Friday 28 and Saturday 29 September (and Sunday night 30 September, as well, if you want to join Gary and me for a nice long weekend).  Sunday I'll lead a walk on trails at Clay Head for those who might be interested.  This trip will be co-listed with Chiltern and Sundance Outdoor Adventure Society of New York City.
