Our route rolls us by some neat places along the way, including Miller Air Field, South Beach, the Battery, Alice Austen house, and National Lighthouse Museum. We'll follow the waterfront as much as practical, with steady pacing, few stops, and no major hills to speak of.  Route is on paved roads with a few gritty parts, but what the heck; we're urban survivors! This route has been done before so it works well, and will be like welcoming back a returning friend!

We will ride as a group, with consistent, steady pacing on the flats, long stretches of nice "pulls", and very very few stops. NO point-drop-sweep except on infrequent occasion as an exception. So riders need be able to go the distance without getting all the little rest breaks one normally gets from traffic lights and PDS and "catch-up" stops.

Picnic break will be at Conference House Park, at about the 60% mark. BYO lunch & snacks, as in this pandemic era we'll not be stopping to acuire lunch . Do tote along plenty of hydration (2 water bottles) plus whatever snacks needed to keep your body rolling along, and the requisite items to keep your bike happy and functional (including 2 tubes and inflation means, etc.).

Cue sheet and meet place will be emailed to registered riders.  Start location is in (very) south Manhattan.

Please make sure your bike is in good working order.  Please bring your helmet, mask, spare tube, hydration and hand sanitizer.  All COVID Club rules apply.

This is a advance moderate riders must be able to keep the pace of 15 to 17 miles .

The ride location will be emailed to the first 8 registrants and will be in the vacinity of Prospect Park.
