North Fork Bicycle 'Night Ride' Permit Denied By Town - North Fork,

BOGUS!!

For the past nine years, upstate resident Glen Goldstein has organized the North Fork Century bicycle ride through the North Fork — with options of a 100-mile full century, a 72-mile ride, a 50 mile ride, or a 25-mile route. Everyone starts together and riders can decide which distance they want to do in the middle of the ride.
This year, Goldstein was planning that same event — a winding ride for about 1,000 cyclists starting and ending at Greenport High School — on Aug. 26. He was also planning a night ride for about 500 people starting at Cross Sound Ferry in Orient on Sept. 30. Goldstein organized one of these night rides on 2010 but Tropical Storm Irene canceled last year’s plan.
Southold Town asked Goldstein to apply this year for permits for both events, and at the board’s regular meeting on Tuesday, board members voted to table the resolution to permit the August ride and denied a permit for the night ride. At work session early that day, Southold Town Police Chief Martin Flatley said he was concerned about safety as more bikers pile onto the roads during these events. By Erin Schultz
