Come join us as we circle around the NY-NJ Harbor. Up and down and all around the towns as we cycle our way through our two favorite states. And, what's a ride through NJ without a "special climb over our favorite, the Bayonne Bridge?" This ride includes ferry hopping:
1 - Ferry from Midtown Manhattan to Union City, NJ - ride through Hoboken into Jersey City - into Bayonne
Lunch stop - Broadway Diner - Pancakes anyone? World's best PLEASE BRING A LOCK so we can lock the bikes together
2 - We will make our way to the Bayonne Bridge through Staten Island, where we will catch the Staten Island ferry back to New York.
This ride was inspired by the shorter version of the Harbor Ring Ride, which advocates for a 60-mile recreational route around the New York Harbor. Please check them out and support them here: https://harborring.org/
