Our historical series continues with a Sunday afternoon ride to one of Manhattan’s oldest houses, the Morris-Jumel Mansion, where we will enjoy an outdoor concert of classical music at 4:30pm on the lawn. The concert is free, but donations to the museum are always appreciated.

There is also an opportunity to take a self-guided tour of the house. If you want to do so, you must PURCHASE A TICKET IN ADVANCE here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/self-guided-interior-tour-tickets-119292177113 (Admission is $11.53; book the 3:00 tour, which will allow you to enter until 4:00pm and stay until 4:30pm). If you prefer, you can hang out in Robert Morris park, which surrounds the mansion, and/or take a self-guided walking tour around the neighborhood, until it's time for the concert.

There will not be a scheduled food stop on this ride, but you can bring a snack (or buy one nearby) to eat in Roger Morris Park, which surrounds the Mansion. After the one-hour concert we will ride back to Central Park North (2 & 3 subway station).

This is a happy-face ride, but you should be able to keep a pace of 10 mph on flat terrain, and be comfortable riding hills.

The ride capacity is 8 riders (+ 2 leaders) due to group size restrictions of the mansion and concert. The start location will be will be in the vicinity of Central Park; details will be sent to the first 8 registrants the day before the ride..

Please make sure your bike is in good working order. Bring your helmet, mask, hand sanitizer, spare tube, water, lock, a blanket to sit on, bike lights (we plan to be back well before dark, but just in case) and a love of history.
