Queens to Edgewater via GW BR: Part 5 of 6, 21 Bridges

Sunday, July 11, 2021 - 09:30

This ride is loosely themed around the late Chadwick Boseman's 21 Bridges.  The aspiration is to ride 17 of 21 bike allowed bridges connecting Manhattan.  We check off the GW Br (bridge #12) for Part 5 of 6.  (For the finale Part 6, we ride 5 Upper Manhattan bridges.)

We start at Queens College and take an Empanada Café nosh. 1pm lunch.  We go thru Central Park, exiting W. Terrace Drive to the Hudson Greenway.  Then proceed north to the GW Bridge.  Lunch stop is Mitsuwa Marketplace in Edgewater, NJ.  From there we make our way south to the Weehawken Ferry.  Be forewarned, $9 for the ferry!!!!  Bryant Park break on the rebound before crossing the 59Br back to Queens.
