The thirtieth running of MPBC’s marquee annual event, Tour of the Hamptons, aka TOH, is a bicycle tour open to the general public to promote cycling, provide riders of all skill levels the opportunity to navigate the picturesque roads of Long Island’s South Fork, and raise funds for local charities, high school scholarships and the club’s own philanthropic programs.
Tour of the Hamptons winds through the historic villages of Sagaponack, Wainscott, East Hampton, Amagansett and Montauk Point before returning to its starting location in Southampton. Riders can choose from routes of 25, 53, 70 and 105 miles, all of which offer flat terrain, rolling hills, farmland, forests and mansion views along the way.
Registration for TOH is now open on BikeReg. Please follow this link to the registration page.
We look forward to seeing all of your smiling faces on Sunday morning and we wish you all a great, fun, and safe ride! Thank you for being a part of this wonderful, long-standing tradition!
Andy, Corresponding Secretary MPBC
