What could be better than to end the warm weather of the summer with an overnight biking & camping trip close to home?

This overnight trip starts Friday evening September 25th, 6:00 PM at Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn and meanders down to Floyd Bennett Field where your leaders will provide food for dinner and set up tents for the night. You'll forget you're in Brooklyn as you listen to the waves crashing against the beach near the campsite, enjoy the warmth of the campfire, and gaze towards the starry night sky.

On Saturday morning you can enjoy kayaking from 9 until 11am for free. For those not drawn to the ocean the airfield of Floyd Bennett is great for exploring where you can meander around a large community garden and explore other treasures.

We will pack our stuff and leave at noon to bike down to Tacoway Taco’s on Rockaway Beach, Queens. (Note: lunch is not included in the trip price.) After an enjoyable lunch we will meander our way back through Brooklyn to Grand Army Plaza where the ride will end.

Our ride is slow and easy at 10-13 mph. However, you should be comfortable riding with items on your bike.

Bring a spare tube, lock, sunscreen, water, bug spray, change of clothes, front & rear bike lights, sleeping bag, and pillow.

A few notes: If you have dietary restrictions please let us know, we will try to accommodate as much as possible. The tents will be provided, a 4 person and a 2 person, by your leaders. There are showers at the campsite opening at 8am. Tacoway is CASH only and remember we are camping so if you want electronics to get charged you will need an external battery.

Rain does not cancel the trip. Please pack according to the forecast, and keep your fingers crossed that the weather is beautiful!

The cost of this trip is $35 per person. To register, email rider leader Elyssa <elyssa.respaut@gmail.com> who will have you invoiced. Act FAST as there are only 4 spots!
