Alliteration is not the only thing we have rolling today.

Join Friends of The QueensWay, 5BBC, and TA Queens Committee members in a ride from Rego Park to Ozone Park to explore the future route of the QueensWay, the proposed bikeway, linear park, and rail trail atop the abandoned Rockaway Beach Branch railroad. We will make several stops, and brief hikes onto the rail line before officially ending outside the Aqueduct Race Track and Casino. Riders wishing to take the A train back to Manhattan can continue to Aqueduct Station. Peter Beadle of Friends of The Queens Way will accompany us and discuss the history of the abandoned rail line and give us an update on progress.

Feeder rides: 9:30 AM, Union Square North @ Park Ave, Manhattan (Josh G); 9:30 AM Grand Army Plaza, Prospect Park, Brooklyn (Susan Levine);  Dutch Kills Green, Queens Plaza N @ Jackson Avenue (just over the 59th Street Bridge) (Steve B); 11:00AM @ Shalimar Diner, Austin St & 63 Dr, Queens.
ALL RIDERS DEPART SHALIMAR AT 11:15 AM. 25 leisurely miles if starting in Manhattan.
