Awesome shoreline ride from Milford Library to Westhaven Savin rock following the “Folks on Spokes” signs! So many beaches! Such a great ride!
Park at the Milford Library. I chose to start my ride behind the library and through the park.
Soon thereafter you reach Gulf Beach. Remember to bring a bike lock so you can take a stroll.
The FOS signs (Folks for Spokes) will route you along the shoreline to the beach communities. Pointe Beach soon follows.
The ride then continues through to Woodmont.
Per the New York Times, the Villa Rosa, a gated peach-stucco mansion built by Sylvester Poli, a theater-chain owner, in 1910. Lining a cove behind it are 10 similarly styled homes, built for Mr. Poli’s daughters and grandchildren, whose red-tile roofs recall the Mediterranean Riviera.
While I was tempted to turn around the changes in the shoreline was too enticing and so I continued to West Havens Savin Rock before I returned.
This was approximately a 10 mile out and then another 10 back for a 20 mile shoreline tour.
