Brooklyn Waterfront to Coney Island
Details
Did you know there's a sunken submarine on the Brooklyn Waterfront, and you can see it? I didn't! Let's travel the waterfront, from under the Brooklyn Bridge to Coney Island, exploring nooks and crannies along the way. We will stop about 7 miles into the ride for a quick snack break at Industry City where you can purchase food. Additionally, there will be a couple other places to stop and fill water bottles, and take short breaks.
This ride will be 18 miles at an easy pace (~10 mph).
Meet: 10:00am Wheels roll at 10:30 am.
Link to route
- We will meet at Jane's Carousel, just on the west side facing the Brooklyn Bridge. Make sure you leave enough time to find us!
