Not quite a Beach Bum series but minus the sand between your toes. We're beating the heat with a trip to Fort Totten Pool in Bayside, Queens. We'll meet at Grand Army Plaza at 9:30 a.m. and take the most direct route, which may include cycling on some busy streets. After our dip or swim, we'll explore the fort's grounds, which are always quiet and free from outside disturbances. Next, we'll grab lunch at Utopia Bagels and cycle a little more than a mile to Bowne Park to eat. We'll return to GAP and travel down many of the same streets we took on the way out.

Before registering, click Fort Totten Pool for pool and Know Before You Go information.

The ride is limited to eight trippers due to potential lines and limited entry. Because this is a small group, there will be no sweep, which means no point-drop sweep. Please make sure to download the route and/or cue sheet in case you become separated from the group. I've also include my phone number for quick communication.
