My name is John Brown; ask me again and I'll knock you down. I'm not sure if this was just a children's rhyme or a tribute to John Brown, the abolitionist who inspired the restaurant's name. But, have no fears. We don’t intend to knock anyone down, but we do plan to dine on some knock-out Kansas-style BBQ. Join us on a quick jaunt to John Brown BBQ in Long Island City. We’ll meet up at Cunningham Park in Queens and take a roundabout way so as to work up an appetite. After lunch we will ride at a lunch pace completing the loop on our return to Cunningham Park.

The pace will be at the low end of Advance (15 mph). Rain or very cold temps at the start cancel. Check your email and the club website before heading out. Make certain your bike is in good working order and bring the familiar essentials to keep you going: spare tube(s) and tools to fix a flat, hydration, on-bike nutrition, helmet (required), and a hearty appetite.
