On Sunday Sept. 6, our "Get out of Town" series ride will take us from Cunningham Park in Queens east around the perimeter of the first major peninsula northeast of Queens. This includes riding through Great Neck, Kings Point, Saddle Rock, and Great Neck Estates.
We'll stop in downtown Great Neck for lunch at Bistro Burger (https://bistroburgernewyork.com/) at mile 17. On the way back we'll also ride around the coast of Little Neck.
Please note, this is a moderate ride, but there are hills so be prepared. We would list this as an UPPER MODERATE ride, but unfortunately there is not a listing for such a ride. Please be aware that you should be able to keep a pace of 14-15 mph on level terrain.
There's total elevation gain of 1588 ft elevation over the 30.6 mile route for an average of 51.9 ft/mi.
