We're going to head from Grand Army Plaza to Sunset Park to enjoy the food of Yun Nan Flavour Garden on this 26-mile ride.
Yun Nan Flavour Garden features rice noodles (in soup or separately), seaweed salad, cold noodles with chicken, and dumplings, among other delicious dishes. Their specialty dish is "Crossing the Bridge" noodles. While we have many fine bridges here in the five boroughs, in this case the name refers to a bridge in Yunnan province in southwestern China. And of course, there's a story behind that name, which you'll learn about on the ride. Since this ride is entirely in Kings County, a/k/a Brooklyn, we won't be crossing any famous suspension bridges, but may be crossing a couple little bridges.
Here are some reviews, if you want to read more. Though the reviews are several years old, recent visits confirm that the food is still excellent.
Our route will have us arriving at the restaurant around mile 22 of the ride, so bring snacks if you want. The ride after lunch from the restaurant back to GAP will be short.
If you're wondering how a ride from Prospect Park to Sunset Park can possibly be 26 miles, our route will be ever-so-slightly out of the way to follow the Brooklyn waterfront to Coney Island and then through Brooklyn neighborhoods to our destination.
Please bring hydration and sunscreen, and at least one spare tube. Since this is the beginning of April, check the forecast and dress for the weather. And please be sure to check the website and your email the night before and morning of the ride in case we need to cancel.
Helmets are mandatory on all 5BBC rides. Please note, this will be a Moderate ride in the front and we will accommodate Happy Face pace in the back. Please try to keep at least 10 mph minimum.
