Pedal for a purpose, while taking in the breathtaking views of Long Island’s
historic Suffolk County Gold Coast. Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist
searching for beautiful routes to ride on Suffolk County’s North Shore or just
looking for a fun way to support some great causes, this ride offers something
for everyone.

Support Long Island Cares – Bring a Can, Make a Difference!

The Huntington Bicycle Club is proud to once again support Long Island Cares – The Harry Chapin Food Bank as part of our 2026 Gold Coast Bike Ride on Sunday, July 12.

We invite all riders to bring a non-perishable food item to drop in our donation bin at the start of the ride. Your generosity will help feed families in need right here on Long Island.

Most-needed items include:

Canned tuna or chicken
Canned vegetables & beans
Peanut butter & jelly (plastic jars)
Pasta & rice
Cereal & oatmeal

Let’s show the power of our cycling community by filling the bin—and helping Long Island Cares continue its critical mission.

Every can counts. Every mile matters. Together, let’s ride with a purpose.

Trial Tour Twelve Miles (12 miles)

This pleasant flat route meanders through Greenlawn, Commack and Elwood for 12 miles. A ride leader will be available to guide those who are ready to start at 9:00 am. Novice cyclists will learn the rules of the road for group riding.

New Ride for 2026! Bike the Bay (25 Miles)
Join us for a beautiful ride to Huntington Bay! Enjoy stunning Long Island Sound views from Crescent Beach overlook and soak in the sights of Huntington Harbor on the return. The 25‑mile ride will be led by HBC Ride Leaders and offered at average speeds consistent with our B and C rides (approximately 13–17 miles per hour). Participants may choose the ride pace that best matches their comfort and fitness level.

Kings Park Ramble (25 miles)

A family-friendly excursion (without steep hills) exploring the neighborhoods of Greenlawn, Kings Park, Commack, and Elwood. Enjoy Kings Park Bluff. This scenic view of the Long Island sound is the highlight of this ride. This is the self-guided version of the 25-mile ride.

A portion of the Gold Coast proceeds have been donated in the past to several charities including: Long Island Cares, dedicated to serving Long Island’s food insecure populations; Dementia Society of America; New York Bicycling Coalition; American Diabetes Association; and KIDS NEED MORE Camp Adventure, an organization of concerned parents who created a camping experience for their children diagnosed with cancer and their siblings. Camp Adventure now serves the east coast and tri-state area. It remains one of the only camps of its kind to serve child cancer patients and siblings. www.kidsneedmore.org
