We'll be ridin' and rockin' to the Roll-N-Roaster, a Brooklyn landmark known for its roast beef sandwiches and cheese fries. The ride begins at Cunningham Park and travels through streets and greenways into Brooklyn, where we will arrive at the R&R around mile 19. After that, we'll take a long stretch up Bedford Avenue into central Queens, passing through Highland and Forest Parks (two of my favs), and returning to the start.

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’s website before heading out. Make certain your bike is in good working order and bring the familiar essentials to keep you going: a lock to secure your bike, spare tube(s), and tools to fix a flat; a helmet (required); and enough snacks and beverages to fortify you throughout the ride.
