Ain't No College in College Point

Saturday, April 24, 2021 - 10:30

College Point is one of those neighborhoods that nobody seems to know.  It stands on a peninsula that juts out into the east river - cut off by highways and Flushing bay.  It's a strange mix of industry, residential, parks and just has a different vibe from most of the City.  This ride takes us along the Flushing Bay Marina and into College Point.  Once there, we will visit Poppenhausen Institute, which was just about everything in this community - court, jail and school.  We will also see the historic Schleicher Mansion and beautiful Beech Court.  Lunch will be picnic style along the waterfront in MacNeil Park.  MAKE SURE TO PACK A LUNCH and/or SNACKS.   After lunch we ride through Flushing Meadows Park, and return via miscellaneous Queens.  This ride starts in Brooklyn.  Start location will go out to all registrants on Thursday night  

This ride leaves from and returns to Brooklyn. The exact location will be provided to those that register.  This is an ADVANCED MODERATE RIDE and will be about 37 miles from start to finish.  If you do register - and cannot make the ride - please email me so that the next person on line can step in.  Hope you can join us in this ride to one of New York's stranger neighborhoods.

IMPORTANT REQUIREMENTS: A reminder that you must register for the ride and that the exact start location will be forwarded to the registered riders.  Please 'unregister' if you can not make the ride so waited list folks can move up and take the slot.  All riders should come equipped with a mask, hand sanitizer/wipes, a spare tube, sunscreen, snacks and a bike in good condition, as well as being familiar with the current criteria for riding with the Club.
