Our destination for this early March ride is Dar525, a Middle Eastern/Mediterranean restaurant worthy of being added to the 5bbc Restaurant Club.  This Moderate (12+ mph on flat terrain) ride will take the long way to Williamsburg.  We will traverse many neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens:  East Flatbush, Ocean Hill-Brownsville, Bushwick, Ridgewood, Maspeth and Sunnyside before arriving at Dar525 in Williamsburg.

Lunch will be late in the ride, at Mile 19.  Please bring snacks to fortify yourself at the mid-morning rest stop.  Please, no complaining about being hungry.  You have been warned to bring pocket food to keep your tummy happy until lunch.
