This ride has us heading to Gerritsen Beach. This is a very remote part of Brooklyn that still maintains it's nautical bungalow colony vibe.  At the foot of Gerritsen Avenue, if you know where to look, is the start of the Marine Park Salt Marsh Nature Trail.  After a few hundred feet you are no longer part of the City.  You find yourself surrounded by tall grasses, the sounds of the City fade away.  And then you come across these amazing views of the marsh itself.  Some of this trail is bikeable, some is kinda bikeable, and some will be walked.  It's all part of the adventure.  For lunch, the plan is to grab and go sandwiches at Brennan and Carr and eat them in a nearby playground.  But, with Covid - who knows. We may end up modifying and saying take food along with you.

WEATHER UPDATE - Saturday looks like the weather may be damp.  As this ride is off road, rain on the day of the ride would make that part of the ride a mud bath.  If not too bad, we can modify and stay on roads. We will see how it goes.  We may get lucky.  Stay tuned.

This is a 20 mile ride, and we will be doing it at a moderate pace. Of course, some of this ride is off road, and pace really is not a thing.  This ride is suitable for hybrids, gravel bikes, etc.  Leave your carbon fiber bike with skinny tires at home.

NOTES: 

1.  If you do not intend to do this ride-  please do not sign up and take up someone else's spot.  It's not fair to your fellow club members.  If you do sign up and have to delist for a legitimate reason, please let me know as soon as possible.

2.  If it pours the night before, we will likely go out to Gerritsen but will not be able to use the trails as they will turn to a morass of muddy gloop.

3.  The exact start location will be provided before the ride to those who signed up and the first several on any waiting list.
