Queens-Manhattan-Bronx-Brooklyn

Here's the plan....

Roosevelt Island
59th Street Bridge
East Side Promenade
Randalls Island
Yankee Stadium
Macombs Dam Bridge 
Harlem River Bike Path
Hudson River Bike Path
South Street Seaport
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.
