I'm heading to a friend's place on Montauk for the holiday weekend.  Taking the Duc.

I'm not familiar with Long Island so I was wondering if anyone has any good suggestions for a fun route from the city to east L.I. that generally avoids the highway.  Thanks!

you know why they call it long island right? 

Knew why but never experienced it.  Geez, what a long, boring ride out there.

That said, once you get to the tip, its all fun.  Went for a 3hr ride on Sunday through windy forest and farm roads.  Good times.

whered you go>?

Went on pretty much every road between Montauk and Shinnecock Hills---just kind of wondered the tip of the isle for 3 hrs.  Nearly everything but Rt.27 (a business rd) was a tree canopied winding road like this:

Unless you live half way out there LI roads are a waste imo.  Better to just go upstate if you're going to ride that far for roads.

Oh and btw, that's what she said...
