11th Annual Rockaway Ride
Broadway & Chambers St, New York, NY, 272 broadway, New York, NY, USREGISTER HERE TO ATTEND https://joinoutsiders.com/events
The Rockaway Ride is Outsiders' flagship summer tradition: a 20-mile journey from downtown Manhattan to the shores of Rockaway Beach. You'll cross the Brooklyn Bridge, wind through some of New York's most iconic and under-explored neighborhoods, and make a pit stop in Red Hook before pushing all the way out to Queens. And when you roll up to the beach, the real party begins.
THE RIDE This isn't a race. No spandex required, no carbon fiber in sight. Think jean shorts, commuter bikes, and good company. We roll at a social pace, which means plenty of time to take in the city, chat with the group, and actually enjoy the journey. The whole thing takes about 3 hours, and every mile is worth it.
There's no better way to see New York than from a bike, and this route takes you through corners of the city that even lifelong locals have never explored.
Starting at Unlimited Biking on Chambers St, you'll cross the Brooklyn Bridge and make your way to Red Hook for a stop at the legendary Steve's Authentic Key Lime Pie. From there, the route carries you up to Prospect Park, entering at 9th Street and cutting through one of Brooklyn's greatest treasures. You'll exit onto Ocean Ave and head south through Midwood, into Marine Park, and then push east through the Rockaways all the way to the sand.
Twenty miles. Eight neighborhoods. One unbeatable finish line.

RED HOOK STOP Our mid-ride stop in Red Hook is worth the miles on its own. Pick up a slice from Steve's Key Lime Pie, a neighborhood institution and one of the best bites in all of New York. Don't skip it.
THE BEACH This is where the afternoon takes off. Once you hit the sand, the ride is done and the party is on. We'll be posted up at Rockaway Beach 86 for the rest of the afternoon: swimming in the waves, playing beach volleyball, and soaking up the sun with good music going all day. Grab food and drinks at Ripper's, one of the best beach bars in the city, right on the boardwalk. Complimentary drinks on us in our beach coolers to celebrate another year on the road. 🍻
This is the finish line, and it looks a lot like summer.
NEED A BIKE? Rent through our partners at Unlimited Biking at a discounted rate. They'll even pick it up at the beach so you ride home free. Reserve here: Unlimited Biking Rentals - https://unlimitedbiking.com/events/annual-rockaway-ride/

THE MOVE – Weekly Movement Club by OUTSIDERS
NYC has no shortage of run clubs. So we thought — let’s do something different. THE MOVE is our new weekly movement club designed to get the community together every Tuesday for something active, social, and just plain fun. Each week features a new partner, a new activity, and a new way to move — from workouts and training sessions to runs with a delicious twist.
Always free with registration. Always good vibes. Always community first.
Each week is hosted by OUTSIDERS founder Jeremy Asgari and the OUTSIDERS team, bringing the same energy you know and love from our adventures to this new weekly series.
Join us every Tuesday and find your MOVE.
Do not sign up for this if you might not be able to attend. If you need to cancel, please let us know 72 hours before the event. If you do not inform us, you will not be able to attend future THE MOVE events!2 attendees
