Three part series:  Beat some heat and stay in the shade ride of Queens Parks.

The first ride will tour Kissena, Cunningham, Alley Pond, and Fort Totten/Little Bay Parks.  25 miles, Happy Face

Part 2.  Add on Flushing Meadow Park and Astoria Park.  35 miles, Moderate

Part 3.  Add on Gantry, Juniper, and Forest Park.  45 miles, Advanced Moderate

Most of the ride will be Queens street bike lanes or park pathways.  Surprise on my food choices!  No shortage of public restrooms and water fountains.  In 5BCC tradition, lore and background of the parks will be briefly presented as well as pointing out some other highlights.  Never done before by 5BBC, ride all major Queens Parks!!!!!
