Let's spend a lazy day riding around Northeast Queens.  Our start location is in front of the bathrooms near the Bocce Ball Courts next to the parking lot of Cunningham Park at Union Turnpike and 196th Place.  From there, we'll ride North along Cunningham Park on 199th Street to the Kissena Park Corridor where we'll ride along side it to reach 189th Street.  We'll take 189th Street North to eventually connect with Utopia Parkway where we'll continue to head North up into Whitestone. Before Whitestone, we'll reach Utopia Bagels (about mile 4.5) to pick up our brunch and continue on to Francis Lewis Park (at mile 7) to enjoy our brunch in a cool spot.

After brunch, 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 head back to Cunningham Park.
