Yesterday’s 27th Annual 5 Borough Tour started out with a little bit of rain, but it turned out to be a very awesome day. We rode our bikes over 42 miles with the streets closed to cars from Battery Park, pass ground zero, up 6th Avenue into Central Park and then Harlem into the Bronx, back down the FDR in Manhattan to the 59th Street Bridge, through Queens and Brooklyn and finally the winds died down as we climbed the 2.5 mile span of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge (the longest suspension bridge in the US) into Staten Island.
I have done this ride every year except two since 1986. If you like to bike ride and live in New York City.
