| 06/28 | Sun | 10:00am | D+/C/38/1168 | Fort Lee Historic Park | Jay Marowitz | 1276 - 2 Bridges, 2 Ferries, 2 Islands, Great Bagels | 31 | Riders of all paces welcome. Most of the ride is via protected bike lanes. This year I added a short stop at DUMBO. Just be aware that you can't ride very fast in NY city, hence the D+ pace, but then there's so much to see. This ride is near water most of the way which has a cooling effect. Check the ride description for obtaining a 1-year free parking permit at Ft. Lee.
| From Ft. Lee Historic park, with scenic views of the GWB, travel over the bridge to the West Side Greenway, pass BIG ocean liners, Chelsea Pier, and The Little Island park. Follow the Hudson through the World Financial Center yacht basin to the Governor's Island Ferry in Battery Park. Tour the island and take another ferry to Brooklyn Heights and Montague St. Bagels. Then, eat those great bagels on Brooklyn Heights Promenade with the best vista in NY (walk your bike here). Return is via a quick visit to DUMBO, the Manhattan Bridge and the West Side Greenway. Great photo-ops as marked on the map. Check the Governor's Island ferry schedules. The ferry from G.I. to Brooklyn is only available from spring to fall. See this video for the history of Governor's Island. At the start point, 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, but don't wait until the Friday before the ride to apply. Any kind of bike is appropriate for this ride. | Bathrooms:
