Bridges, Bridges and More ##@## Bridges


No one likes bridges more than your two leaders, so come join us as we ride the Bridges of New York City (five in all, Brooklyn, Williamsburg, fondly known as the Willy B., Pulaski, Queensboro, and finally Manhattan). Get the heart pumping and the legs burning as we CLIMB, CLIMB, CLIMB (cursing is allowed) our beautiful bridges with their majestic views. The ride will take us into Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, and then back to Manhattan, and yes, one more to climb as we make our way back to the boro of Brooklyn. Lunch will be in Long Island City, with many choices to satisfy every palate.

This will be a moderate ride, so please be prepared to maintain a moderate pace and be comfortable riding on bridges. This ride is limited to 15 riders, so PLEASE, IF YOU FIND YOU CANNOT MAKE THE RIDE, UNREGISTER SO SOMEONE ON THE WAIT LIST CAN GO.  AS ALWAYS, PLEASE HAVE YOUR BIKE IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION AND HAVE YOUR LIGHTS, HYDRATION, SPARE TUBE, AND YOUR HELMET. FINALLY, ALWAYS CHECK THE WEBSITE FOR ANY WEATHER UPDATES NIGHT BEFORE OR EARLY MORNING BEFORE 8 AM.
