On this Presidents Day, join us for a ride celebrating our Commanders-in Chief and some of their Spouses by visiting sites of significance in their lives as well as that of our nation.  Ride begins 10AM in FIDI Manhattan near City Hall (versus the 10:30AM version which starts in Bklyn). We're RIDING . .  and stop only briefly ('cuz it's win-tah) to point out why our designated places are important. Route is ~30 miles at a Moderate pace.  If you can't maintain 12 mph pace on flat terrain, and aren't comfy and skilled in urban traffic, please skip this one. Ride ends at Bklyn side of Manhattan bridge.

Leave your fanciest 2 wheelers behind and bring bike/wheels suitable for a bit of possible slop in the streets; leader is using a mtn bike with slightly treaded tires.

So do watch your email and this ride posting as day of ride approaches, and we have a realistic handle on weather and pavement conditions, in case of possible rescheduling.

NO LUNCH/SNACK STOPS - BYO pocket/snack food. YES, restroom breaks along the way.

ALL CLUB COVID RULES WILL APPLY STRICTLY - MAXIMUM 8 + 2 leaders and you MUST WEAR masks and maintain 6 feet distance at stops.

IMPORTANT REQUIREMENTS - You must register for the ride and the exact start location and cue/route will be forwarded to registered riders.  Please 'unregister' ASAP if you can not make the ride; please no dragging heels waiting till the last second to see if temps will miraculously turn balmy [PSST; never known them to!]. If you drop off reasonably in advance, then at least waitlist folks can move up and take the slot.  All riders should come equipped with a mask, hand sanitizer/wipes, a spare tube, sunscreen, snacks, hydation, subway card for bails, in case, and a bike in good condition, as well as being familiar with the current criteria for riding with the Club.
