Let's spend a lazy day riding around Northeast Queens.  Our start location is the corner of Union Turnpike and Queens Boulevard in front of Starbucks with the E and F trains right nearby.  From there we'll head north to Flushing Meadows Corona Park to ride once around the Unisphere.  We'll exit the park into Corona to head up to the Flushing Bay promenade to ride along Flushing Bay.

We'll exit the promenade just North of Downtown Flushing to ride up and into College Point to reach Hermon MacNeil Park where we'll again ride along the waters of Flushing Bay.  We'll exit the park to head to our lunch stop (about mile 15) at Tony's Beechhurst Deli in Whitestone and eat in the nearby Whitestone Playground.

After lunch, we'll head to Little Bay Park and ride around Fort Totten, and down the Joe Michael's Mile to enjoy our views of Little Neck Bay.  Our final stop is dessert at Lulu and Dino Cafe Bakery at the corner of Springfield and Northern Boulevards.  From there, we'll ride South and West through Jamaica Estates to Jamaica Hills to take a quick ride through Captain Tilly Park when it isn't chilly!  From there, we head back to our start location in Kew Gardens.
