Rain tonight, according to NOAA, Weather Channel, and Weather Underground. (Accuweather predicts no rain.) So we'll cancel to be safe.

New start: 5:30 PM. (The Crit schedule has changed. More info here.)

So we're going to the Women's (and Men's) Red Hook Crit, making momentous stops along the way: Rockaway Brewery, Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory, Steve's Key Lime Pie, and IKEA, where vegan Swedish meatballs are the current cause célèbre (and the ultimate paradox: Swedish, vegan, meatballs all in one). We'll then head over to the Red Hook fixed-gear women's Crit now at 7:30PM, with the men's challenge following at 8:30. After, we'll take traffic-free greenways to Brooklyn Bridge Park and, for those returning to Manhattan, the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges. Front and rear lights de rigueur and money for food and drinks optional.
