Then click on the "popup ride title" to see a *** FULL DESCRIPTION *** of the ride details.

NOTE:
Under the Ride Level details, the "Type: Road Bike" refers to the ride will be on paved roads (rather then off road trails). Although a Road Bike is suggested for Road Bike Type rides it is not required. Hybrid and mountain bikes can be used on these rides as well provided you are comfortable with the pace outline in the Posted Ride. This ride calendar is for club rides, club meetings, club event posts and shop rides only.
For Other Events in our area and off Long Island check out the "Other Rides & Events calendar" and the "Forums"

Here's the plan....

Roosevelt Island

Randalls Island
Yankee Stadium
Macombs Dam Bridge

Hudson River Bike Path

Willamsburg Bridge
Pulaski Bridge
Gantry Plaza State Park

The route is about 42 miles with about 900 ft of elevation. A 42 mile city ride with stops for sightseeing and photos can be a longer day than you might expect.  I hope to be back at the cars by 3pm. Here's a link to the route:

Bring snacks and gels. There will be a rest stop somewhere along the way.

Obviously… not your typical "club ride". It's more like a day-long adventure ride.  I'm very selective about the roads/paths I choose. Most will have a designated bike lane. A few will not.  Some bicycle paths will have bumpy segments.  I always use my back-up "rain" road bike with 28mm tires.

This is a B/B+ ride ... not so much for the speed, but more for the hills (bridges) and the general confident bike handling skills required to navigate a variety of advanced cycling situations. 

This is also an RSVP ride. Contact me (text) in advance if you plan to come. Provide me with your SBRA Member # and I'll sign you in.

If you need an address for your GPS to find the start location, then use 42-25 Vernon Blvd, Queens, NY 11101

Feel free to text me with your questions or concerns.
