Williamsburg Bridge

  

50 miles recap from Saturday 4/28/12



From Brooklyn NY, I rode out to the city to meet everyone.
Route changed, everyone wanted to RIDE Brooklyn

From the city, Downtown (Little Italy/Chinatown)
we went into Brooklyn via

- Williamsburg Bridge
- DUMBO Brooklyn (Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass)
- RED HOOK Brooklyn

- Bayridge
- Beltparkway (View of Verazanno Bridge)
- L&B's pizza (squares)
- Coney Island

- Sheepshed Bay
- Belt parkway toward Queens
- Marine ParkWay Bridge into
- Rockaway Beach

heading back to the city

- from the Marine Parkway bridge, we went straight all the way down Flatbush Brooklyn, passing by prospect park / Zoo into Manhattan bridge (I hate this route, $1 vans and crazy drivers don't give a F* about cyclist)

Weekend Group Rides

we was suppose to hit up Philly to ride, chill, and eat some CHEESESTEAKS!!!

but there was rain on the manifest so we didn't want to risk it.

New York - Toronto

Yes, I know this sounds crazy but during the Pre Warmup Red Hook Crit 2012 in Red Hook Brooklyn, I met this rad dude on a green steel Cinelli Gazzetta. Something was interesting about him so I approached him and ask him about his setup. (I have the same frame as my 2ndary bike)

we was chatting a bit about his Bike and he was telling me that Cinelli Sponsored him and he is riding from New York to Toronto, fixed! after RedHookCrit weekend.

Good luck my friend!
