NY Route
NY - General Route Overview
The ride begins with a casual stroll down 2nd Avenue like you’ve never seen it and is punctuated with a pre-dawn pedal over the Manhattan Bridge. From there we move south through Brooklyn as a group before riding to our first stop at Rockaway Beach. From Rockaway Beach we will head over to the second rest stop in Long Beach, after which the group will begin moving at their own pace for the completion of the ride. From Long Beach riders will make their way along the B2B Route out to Rt. 27A which the riders will follow for most of the remainder of the ride. There will be five more official rest stops as well as some water refills along the way. Also, in addition to the rest stops there will be experienced mechanics following the pack to help anyone with bike issues (flat tires etc.) during the ride.
