Bike Through Wainscott, Sagaponack, and Water Mill

Thu, 08/22/2024 - 12:23

The weather forecast looks pleasant for Saturday, when Lois Peltz and Jerry Brown will lead a bike ride through Wainscott, Sagaponack, and Water Mill for the East Hampton Trails Preservation Society from 9 a.m. to noon.

During the approximately 20-mile ride, participants will also hear from John L. Halsey, "the artisan, ultimate apple connoisseur, and 11th-generation steward of the land," according to the trails society. There may even be peaches and chocolate Slurpees involved.

The trails society asks that participants wear helmets and check the air in their tires ahead of time. The meeting place is the Wainscott School parking lot off Main Street. Advance sign-up is required by emailing [email protected], and the phone number for day-of questions is 917-747-0885.
