Hudson Loop/Molos
Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, W 46th St, New York, NY, US- Reservations open July 8 at 10:00am
Let's ride the Hudson Loop - a classic Dana & Oliver ride. This is a 35-mile ride at a medium pace, for Brompton bicycles only. Check out photos from previous Hudson Loop rides below!
We'll start at the Intrepid, then ride up the Hudson Greenway, and cross the George Washington Bridge. After crossing the bridge we'll ride down the New Jersey side to the Paulus Hook Ferry, where we cross back to Tribeca. Finally, we'll ride back up to the Intrepid to close the loop.
There's a late lunch/early dinner stop on the NJ side at Molos, a beautiful Greek restaurant for a delicious lunch on their terrace with gorgeous views of the city.
WHAT TO EXPECT
- The full loop is 35 miles long.
- This ride is mostly flat, with a notable climb to the George Washington Bridge.
- This ride includes 3 miles of busy city street riding on the NJ side (no bike path, but mostly with a wide shoulder). The rest is beautiful bike path on the river.
- Molos ist a wonderful restaurant with gorgeous views of Manhattan and excellent food. That said, it is on the pricier side. Please check their menu in advance and do not sign up for this ride if you are not ok with the menu. https://molosrestaurant.com
- We will have an extra long chain to lock all Brompton's securely in a secluded back yard while at the restaurant - feel free to bring your own lock, but you don’t need to!

No More Blues
Road SongThe Wine
Does the music have the power to influence what’s in your glass? Science says yes!
We've partnered with wine guide Nathalie Nayman to pair a wine with a piece of music for you to taste and hear at once — a small, multisensory experiment in where art and science meet — before the band picks the groove back up.
To participate in our multisensory wine & jazz interactive experience, be sure to choose the "Wine Pairing" option with your ticket on the sign-up page.
