Back at Bike Expo I met the organizers of the Empire State Ride which supports the Buffalo Cancer Center as a fundraiser that take cyclists 500+ miles from NYC cross-state to Buffalo.

They are looking for a 2-3 Marshalls in Manhattan and this ride will start where they do. Details are on facebook.

This ride will welcome, tail and cheer them on along the west side bike path and then up and over the GWB. It will end at the bus terminal for those who want a ride of 15-20 miles and I may add on a meander in Manhttan for those who want more and perhaps find a place to fine together.

Have any ideas? Send them my way or post a comment.

Maybe I will tack on a Lost Synagogues ride of Northern Manhattan to meander through Harlem and perhaps wind up at an interesting dining place. Please do register and check back for further details as I add them.

PS - If you want to help Marshall, that duty starts at 8am, feel free to do both or just sweep - whatever works, I will be there from 8am onward. The role of Marshall is really very easy - we need to create a series of DROPS between the Ferry and the West Side Greenway bike path so that they don't get lost in the mess that has become the "path" from the Ferry to the bike path in lower manhattan.
