The summer streets program are on once again, meaning that Park Ave. from 72nd St to the Brooklyn Bridge will be closed to traffic, & open to cyclists, joggers, roller bladders, etc.  It is like a big block party, which promotes biking, and other physical activities.  (skating, jogging etc.)  There are also some freebies.  This would be a great intro ride to group riding in a minimum of traffic.  Newbies are strongly encouraged to join.

The ride will be approximately 16 to 20 miles, w/ many rest stops to enjoy the activities and giveaways on Pk Ave.  The ride will start @ Lenox Ave. & 110th St, Central Park North @ 10:00,  (110 St. on the 2 or 3 line) going through Central Pk w/ 1 hill, & much smaller rolling  hills, (we will go easy & enjoy the down hills)  A bike with gears are strongly recommend.  Please bring at least one properly sized spare inner tube to fit your tire, and tools for your bike it does not have a quick release.  (two spare tubes are advised)
