Update: Cruise to montauk, take a look!!

[Frankie Lap]

So from what I understand, NYM used to do this run a few years ago. They stopped the year before I joined if memory serves. If I'm free that day I'm in, and will get some Westchester/Bronx/Putnam people to go as well.

Yes, trying to revive our clubs policy of commitment

Great, keep me posted on the number of people you get!

Just a quick heads up, they used to do this cruise in May I believe. It was suggested to me to hold this cruise off to late Sept or Oct due to one lane in, one lane out. I haven't been out there in 6 years, but the traffic was brutal. Just something to think about. I love LI, but traffic sucks on a normal day. I believe most rentals out there are Sat to SaT, Sun to Sun. That means weekend travel will not be a cruise, it will basically be a crawl.
If anyone has any better traffic info, please advise. Thanks

I went on I think the second to last Montauk Cruise few years back, also my first NYM event. It was usually early May because like Frankie said traffic gets bad out there after Memorial Day, and if I remember correctly we had maybe 50+ cars that day and it was enough to slow ourselves down. It's a really nice drive though.

yes, frankie, you are right.
also adding to this traffic is the commercial traffic of
Landscaping, pools, agriculture etc .....
This is a difficult trip with a stiff clutch.

I work in in the Hamptons and commute an hour and a half each way at least. Traffic has improved drastically from what it was years ago. And if I can make it, I'd gladly bring you guys on the "scenic" route to enjoy some back roads on the way. There are plenty of great driving roads out east.

Loving the attention on this one, folks. Spread the word, keep it up!!

Maybe we can set it for mid or late september. You're right about the traffic, it gets bad out there during the day in the summer (I'm out there almost every weekend).

Indeed you are correct.

Ill look into moving the date to something in late september before everyone stashes their cars away and while the weather is still nice.

DATE CHANGED TO SEPTEMBER 13TH!!! This is one week after Labor Day, figured it would be more than enough time util everything settled down out there. Pus its back-to-school time so hopefully mostly everyone out there has packed it up and left

What do we think? Set the date for another week or let bigons be bigons? I don't want to set the date too late because people put their cars away in the later part of Sept/ Oct.
