The D+ pace acknowledges the inability to go fast in NY. All pace riders are welcome. The weather, so far, is predicted to be excellent.

The ride start time is the time the ferry leaves for the Battery, so give yourself ample transit time to get there about 9:15AM.

Here’s a view of the free Sunday parking area at St. George’s Ferry Terminal on Staten Island. It’s a really big picture, expand you browser window to see all of it.

Starts at Staten Island Ferry parking lot. We take the Ferry to the Battery then go over the Brooklyn Bridge to Prospect Park. From there we go down Ocean Parkway bike trail to Sheepshead Bay, Manhattan Beach (with a great view of the Far Rockaways) and the beginning of the Coney Island boardwalk where we get that Nathan's hot dog (with sauerkraut) . 

Return trip is via Belt Parkway bike trail, under the amazing Verrazano Bridge, over the Manhattan Bridge and back to the
Battery Ferry to Staten Island. There's lots of protected bike lanes.

If you decide to ride the Thunderbolt, Cyclone the Wonder Wheel, or the Slingshot rides, the group will wait. tongue-out
