This is a fabulous ride for visiting tons of New York infrastructure lacing 3 islands together (Manhattan, Wards/Randals, Roosevelt). You will cross the GWB, the Wards Island Bridge, The RFK bridge, and the Roosevelt Island Bridge. 

The weather man just 'guaranteed' a rainless day for Sunday.

The start point has been moved to Fort Lee Historic Park. As a consequence, the ride is shortened about 3 miles and a long end-of-ride, not very scenic, hill is eliminated. 

We'll lunch on Roosevelt Island then take the tram, with your bike, to Manhattan/Central Park.

I recommend that you print and bring a cue sheet.

Bring you camera/gopro with lots of  'film'.  

A NY tour consisting of 3 islands, 4 bridges, and a tram. We visit Inwood Hill Park, Randals & Wards Island, Roosevelt Island, and Central Park in Manhattan. The tram takes us from Roosevelt Island to Manhattan with a short ride to Central Park. Typically, we lunch on Roosevelt Island with a great view of the Ed Koch (59th St.) Bridge, Manhattan, and Queens. We'll tour the new Four Freedoms Park which is a tribute to F.D.R. You will have to carry your bike up and down modest stairs on the RFK bridge and the tram destination in Manhattan. Almost any kind of (not too heavy) 2-wheeled bike will work on this tour, e.g. road, hybrid, mountain. Most of the ride is on greenways, bridges, parks, or marked bike lanes. Central Park is closed to cars on  weekends. Bring money or credit cards for the tram and food.  There's a new, in 2022, Nellie Bly Monument (an American investigative journalist widely known for faking insanity in order to be admitted to the asylum on Blackwell Island - today's Roosevelt Island - so she could report on the horrors there).  Rest rooms: Ft. Lee Historic Park, Wards/Randals Island, Roosevelt Island: near the entrance to the 4 Freedoms Park as well as in the food establishments, Near the base of the GWB on the Hudson River Greenway. 

PARKING: At the start point (Ft. Lee Historic Park), there is a one-time charge, currently $5, for a 1-year Palisades parking permit (includes Ft. Lee Historic Park) for seniors over 62.  Click here for details. Take advantage of this vs. hourly meter charges but don’t wait until the Friday before the ride to apply.

Any kind of bike is appropriate for this ride.
