- 9AD0.040NYC FIVEBORO BIKE TOUR*Mike Schesser
This ride is posted as an unaffiliated club ride. Many of the details are not yet known, but check out https://www.bike.nyc/events/td-five-bike-tour/ to get a general idea as to what is involved. This is a ride that wind through the Five Boros of NYC. Imagine seeing areas of NYC you normally wouldn't see except on a bicycle. The ride is only 40 miles long so it is well within everyone's capability to complete and because there are 30,000 cyclists of varying skills there is no opportunity to go fast as the focus will / should be NOT to crash. We have talked to cyclists who have done this ride and the general consensus is the ride is not a relaxing one as you need to keep your head on a swivel to ensure you don't crash.
So far Steve Schnyer, Mike Schesser, and Mike Frank are interested as believe it or not...this event is on Schnyer's bucket list. Again all plans are notional at this point. We are thinking about going to NYC on the Saturday before the ride and spending Saturday at the Staten Island Navy Lodge, where the ride ends. The Navy Lodge currently has availability @ $135.00 / night and they will let us leave our vehicles there while we ride.
Bear in mind that registration for this ride opens at NOON on 11 January 2023. As more details are known, I will revise this unaffiliated ride posting to share additional details with all. My email is mike.schesser@gmail.com should anyone have any questions regarding this interesting and unique opportunity. Wishing you all A Very Merry Christmas and a Healthy, Happy, and Safe New Year!!!
The RWGPS files and the Cue Sheets are not currently availability, when they are, they will be added to this posting.
