Update 7:30 AM April 3rd: The ride is on but will be modified. It looks like we have a decent window when there won't be any rain and when it does rain, it looks like it will be showers - that the heavy stuff won't be until tonight. The temps will be nice. As for the ride, it will be improvised and will be designed to stay near subways if we have to bail. No cue sheet and not sure what lunch stop will be used; we will see how the day develops.

We've worked up an appetite waiting for spring. So let's take a pre-passover Good Friday early spring urban ride around Brooklyn. It will feature different neighborhoods and sights. After a nice ride south, lunch will be at the excellent Mill Basin Deli where they always treat us exceptionally well and where they have the matzoh ball soup voted best in the City. And maybe save room for dessert, because there just might be a stop on the way back to Grand Army Plaza. Bring lock and money for lunch.
