2nd Annual Brooklyn Waterfront Epic Ride

Sunday July 18th. 10 am-3 pm
Depart: Manhattan Avenue at Newtown Creek, Greenpoint, Brooklyn
End: Rockaway Taco on Rockaway Beach Blvd and Beach 96th Street

Join the Brooklyn Greenway Initiative, the Transportation Alternatives (T.A.) Brooklyn Volunteer Committee, the Regional Plan Association (RPA), and the National Park Service (NPS) for a 40-mile ride along Brooklyn's entire waterfront that highlights the potential of a fully completed Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway. We will have brief stops at Owls Head Park in Bay Ridge and a refreshment stop at the Carnarsie Pier with an update on plans to complete the Jamaica Bay Greenway. After the ride feel free to enjoy the beach, hop on the A train back to Brooklyn, or ride back with volunteers along Flatbush Avenue, the most direct route back to northern Brooklyn.

This ride is moderately-paced (12+ miles/hour).

Be sure to bring some food, extra water, sun screen, money for tacos, and FULLY inflate your tires (we had several flats last year due to underinflated tires)

Ride is limited to 100 participants. RSVP with full name, email, and phone number to brooklynepicride[at]gmail[dot]com
