Last minute chance to stock up for the holidays and dining/snacking, etc.  We're doing a quickie trip to Acme Fish, a family owned/operated wholesale smoked fish biz.  No surprises; it's out and back, over 59th St bridge. (MEET  NE corner of 60th & 1st Ave/Manhattan)

INFO:  Acme's  "Fish Fridays" (the only time they allow retail biz) is for we, the public. It's a bit diff these pandemic days, but  - - - still, such a deal!  On bike it's a short and easy hop to Acme in Greenpoint Bklyn from our start on the Manhattan side of the 59th St bridge. No point-drop-sweep; we'll ride as a group (do print/bring cue sheet). Ride limited to 8 riders. Expect to be back in Manhattan at the 59th Street Bridge by 9:30ish  the latest.

BYO carrying capacity for toting back your purchases, and of course, mask, helmet, bike in good shape, tires pumped up, tube, etc. Please also bring a printed copy or an actual screen shot of your ACME purchase receipt, so we can show them easily to make our pickup faster. [FYI, if you've not been before during covid times, they pack purchases into a brown, taped, outsized box which like Amazon Prime boxes have way too much air for the contents.  Most of us break them open and leave behind for recycling, stashing purchases into our own carry bags or sacks or panniers.]

TIP:  Company in the past has said that fresh sliced fish is only sold by the full pound(s).

WARNING:  Friends and family might pile on to your shopping list once they hear where you're going!

IMPORTANT REQUIREMENTS: A reminder that you must register for the ride.  Please 'unregister' if you can not make the ride so waited list folks can move up and take the slot.  All riders should be familiar with the current criteria for riding with the Club.

BRING: The usual bike flat fix tools and whatever else specific to your bike is wise; dress in layers for the weather. Ride is short so a bit of inclement weather won't deter us.  Plus it's New Yawk, with lots of subway bails.
