Please join us for a 32-mile guided bike ride around Manhattan on the East Coast Greenway using the East and West Side Greenways. We start by heading up the East River Greenway past Roosevelt & Randalls Islands, through Inwood then over and south down the Hudson River Greenway passing the George Washington Bridge, the Intrepid and then all the way to Battery Park. The ride will proceed at an easy-going pace of 10 – 13 MPH.

Please bring what you’ll need such as water, snacks, a spare tire, and PLEASE wear a helmet. We usually ride rain or shine but if the weather is particularly unpleasant, you will receive a cancellation email by 7:00 AM on the day of the ride.

Lunch midway along ride.

Riders must wear a helmet to participate in this bike ride.
