Join with the 5BBC at our Summer Streets Table for the start of this ride.   We ride across the Manhattan Bridge, through the heart of Brooklyn, and hit the bike trail over the Gil Hodges Bridge.  We will be making a stop at the Riis Park Pavilion before and after the ride, so you don't have to ride in your bathing attire.  From there we head to Belle Harbor for some beachy goodness.  Bring sunscreen, a towel, and whatever makes you happy on the beach.  After an hour or so of beach time, we will be heading back.  Maybe hit Jordan's Lobster Dock on the way for some fresh sea food, but this will be a group decision.  The end of the ride is at Grand Army Plaza where there are numerous subways.

This is NOT a Happy Face Ride.  We will keep a Moderate Pace on this 40 mile ride.

In addition to your beach stuff, make sure to bring plenty of hydration and a lock.
