Bike New York is pulling out all the stops for our season-ending ride in 2012! Ocean views and tasty pies at pit stops are some of the highlights while riding back roads of Monmouth County, New Jersey.
Founded in 2002, the annual Twin Lights Ride begins and ends beneath the famed Twin Lights overlooking Sandy Hook and features four mileage choices, from 30 to 100 miles, including optional group rides for the 30- and 55-mile routes.
At the end of the ride, everyone returns to Highlands to enjoy a meal at one of the many seafood (or other) restaurants, catch some music or light food at the post-ride festival, and pick up the ride T-shirt.
2012 marks the 11th anniversary of this family-friendly ride!
The 2012 Twin Lights Ride will take place on Sunday, September 30th.

"Kevin, I can tell you that I'm riding a hybrid and my son is riding a mountain bike. However he is putting on tires that are a little less tractor-like, though it's still a far cry from a road bike. Not ideal, no doubt, but you won't be alone!"
"How many "non road bikes" participate in the 75 and 100 mile rides? I converted a Gary Fisher Tassajara MTB for road use but don't want to find myself surrounded by straight road bikes."
"While the majority of bicycles on the 75 and 100 mile rides are road bikes, we do get a handful of mountain bikes and hybrids participating in the longer rides."
"The ferries leave at 6:30 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. You must sign up for the ferry in advance, and the price is $50 per person.
100 and 75-milers should take the 6:30 ferry, 55-milers can choose either, and 30-milers should take the 8:30.
If you have other questions, don't hesitate to email us at info@bikenewyork.org!"
"What times are the ferries please?"
"I did the 75-miler a few years ago before I lost 80 lbs. Now I'm planning to do my first (and last) century ride at age 63. Any advice?"
"[...] it. Get out there and strut your stuff! Our next and last organized ride of the season is the Twin Lights ride on the Jersey shore in late September. I can’t wait! In the meantime, maybe we’ll [...]"
