Long Island North Shore · 25A

The coastal ride without leaving the metro area, made for clubs from Queens and Long Island: 25A runs the North Shore from Glen Cove to Port Jefferson through Oyster Bay, Huntington, Northport and Stony Brook, past bays, old estates and harbor towns. It's an easygoing cruise, more about scenery than curves, good for an afternoon or for a pack with newer riders. Expect plenty of traffic and lights, and the prettiest stretch is short, so take it easy and stop in Northport or Port Jefferson to eat by the water.
