A 40 mile city ride with stops for food, sightseeing and photos can be a longer day than you might expect. I hope to be back at the cars by 3pm.

Bring snacks and gels. There will be a bagel stop in Long Island City around the 20 mile mark. 

Obviously… not your typical "club ride". This will be much more of a "tour ride". I'm very selective about the roads/paths I choose. Many will have a designated bike lane... a few might not.... but on the brightside... there are no bridges.  Of all the city rides I put together, I think this one feels the most adventurous.

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

This is 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.
