And now for something completely different....

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

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

The route is about 35 miles with about 900 ft of elevation. A 35 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: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/44311649

Bring snacks and gels. Bagel Shop stop at around Mile 23.

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 concerning. You will need to carry your bike up and down a few stairs here and there.

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.

Please note the new ride-start location for this year.  If you need an address for your GPS, then use 42-25 Vernon Blvd, Queens, NY 11101
