It looks like October will be a good month for 5BBC members to sample foods from around the world. After sampling empanadas and Korean food on 5BBC rides in the first weekend of October, and even if you didn't join those rides, please join us as we ride from Prospect Park to enjoy Bosnian food in Astoria. We will pass through Brownstone Brooklyn; take in views of the East River and Manhattan skyline from Brooklyn Bridge Park, Dumbo, Bushwick Inlet, and Gantry Plaza State Park; ride through Astoria, and stop at Ćevabdžinica Sarajevo and pick up lunch. Among other Bosnian dishes, we can try cevapi (their specialty sausage), bureks (a baked savory pie filled with spinach, cheese, or meat), tasty Bosnian salads, as well as various kababs. They have some meatless dishes.

After lunch, we will cross the Koscuiuszko Bridge, ride through Williamsburgh, Bed-Stuy and Prospect Heights, and return to Prospect Park.

This is a Moderate paced ride, meaning you must be able to ride 12 miles per hour on flat terrain.  Please make sure your bike is in good working condition.  Please bring a helmet, spare tube, sunscreen, a mask, sanitizer or wipes, and water.
