Every Wednesday!
Anyone looking for inspiration and community for your morning ride? Let's ride the Prospect Park Loop with a pack of Bromptons.
We'll ride two times around Prospect Park. Afterwards, we'll have lattes and croissants at a bakery cafe 4 blocks from the park (or zoom off to work if your time is limited).
This is intended as a short and sweet ride before your morning commute and people typically depart the cafe around 9-9:30am.
You can view the route on Ride with GPS
We stick to our departure time: 7:35am
As a morning ride, we need to ensure a consistent start time so people can plan around it for their work day. Thus, we'll unfold and ride at 7:35am. If you are running late, please post in the comments and we'll meet you for the second loop.Happy Riding!
