| The first-ever Long Island Harbors Ride starts out from Suffolk County Community College, Brentwood. | Routes traveled to the North Shore, exploring a variety of towns and harbors. | With the number of participants limited to 1,500, the event sold out in advance. |

 |
| Friends enjoy breakfast while getting ready to ride. | There's no better fuel for a bike ride than a chocolate muffin! | Riders who participated in an optional Bike Safety Check at the start got some bling for their bike. |

 |
| The five-mile family ride heads out to learn the rules of the road. | Enthusiastic riders could order the official jersey in advance. | On the way to the water. |

 |
| A harborfront restaurant is decked out but not yet open for the day. | Cool air by the water provided a bit of a respite from the heat and humidity. | Shade helped keep the heat in check (barely) too. |

 |
| Huntington Harbor. | The Huntington Rest Area took advantage of the harbor views from the Halesite Fire House. | After a brief stop for snacks and scenery, riders hit the road again. |
 |
 |
 |
| Mechanics at selected rest areas helped people continue riding. | Popsicles helped too! | Port Jefferson Harbor. |
 |
 |
 |
| Downtown Port Jefferson, Long Island's historic seaport and ship-building village. | The hill out of town was one of the most difficult climbs of the day. | Fortunately, a rest area with cold drinks awaited at top. |
 |
 |
 |
| For 100-mile riders, Mount Sinai Harbor was the last waterfront view. | From here, the route headed southwest back to Brentwood. | Whether they'd done the five-mile family ride or a full century, everyone had a reason to be proud. |
 |
 |
 |
| The 26-mile instructor-led ride stayed together to the finish. | Happy to be done! | Here's to a great summer of riding. |
