    And now for something completely different....

    Join me on a NYC ride that features ...:

    Randall-Ward’s Island Pedestrian Bridge
    1/2 loop in Central Park
    Hudson River Bike Path
    Brooklyn Bridge
    Brooklyn Piers
    Manhattan Bridge
    Williamsburg Bridge
    Pulaski Bridge
    Roosevelt Island Bridge
    Astoria Park
    RFK Bridge

    Recently, I took a trial run of the route - see here:  https://www.strava.com/activities/7716453452

    The route is about 40 miles and Stava shows 1300ft of elevation.  I'm expecting to be back at the cars between 2:30-3pm.

    Bring snacks and gels.  Bathrooms are easily found.  Bagel Shop stop at around Mile 16.

    Obviously… not your typical "club ride".  I'm very selective about the roads/paths I choose.  Many will have a designated bike lane. A few will not. If you have a fear of heights, the RFK Bridge could be a real challenge. You can walk.  We'll wait.  The other bridges are much less scary.

    This is a B+ ride ... not so much for the speed, but for the hills (bridges) and 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. 

    The ride will be a "go" even if only one other rider is interested.
