Ronda Central Park — Monthly Social Circle

Link of the event **[https://ronda-club.com/circles/ll7BSBPeJNaHhszUZmgf](https://ronda-club.com/circles/ll7BSBPeJNaHhszUZmgf)** Ronda is back this year with the same simple idea: creating real, authentic circles of people — without the pressure of traditional networking or dating events. What if we simply met once a month at 5 PM in Central Park? A relaxed meetup for friends, newcomers, locals, expats, and anyone open to meeting new people naturally. No host. No awkward activities. No forced introductions. Just come as you are, meet people, and see who you connect with. How Ronda works 1\. Create your Ronda profile Introduce yourself and tell people what kind of connections you're looking for. 2\. Join the New York Circle Join the Ronda New York Circle 3\. Connect before or after the meetup Discover the people in the Circle, connect with those you'd like to know, and privately talk about your intentions, interests, or simply your desire to meet. That's the Ronda secret: the meetup creates the opportunity — you decide who you connect with. The spirit Come as you are. Keep it chill, friendly and natural. Be kind, respectful and inclusive. Respect everyone's boundaries and intentions. There is no expectation to connect with anyone. This is a self-organized meetup. Ronda provides the Circle and helps people discover each other, but there is no organizer or host managing the gathering. Central Park · 5 PM · Once a month Chill. Friends. Newcomers. Real connections.

Randalls Island Full Moon and Picnic Ride

Full Moon Ride! Friday, August 28 will be a full moon. Want to ride with Brompton friends to Randalls Island and enjoy a moonlit picnic? This is a chill ride with equal emphasis on riding, socializing and enjoying the NYC evening sky. *This ride is for Brompton bicycles only.* **Meeting/Departure** We'll meet at the southeast corner of Queensbridge Park and depart punctually after 15 minutes of socializing. (Note: We need to depart on time due to timing with the sunset). Then we'll bike up to Astoria Park and cross the RFK bridge to Randall’s Island. **Sunset** We'll stop to enjoy the sunset from Astoria Park and from the RFK Bridge. **Full Moon** We'll spread our blankets at the southern tip of Randalls Island and watch the moon rise and city lights in all their splendor. **Picnic** Please bring your own beverage, picnic blanket, and snacks to share. **Return** Feel free to depart earlier, but we'll exit the island as a group around 10:00, crossing the 103rd Street Bridge to Manhattan. We'll bike down the East River and end the ride at the Manhattan side of the Queensboro Bridge. (There are path closings on the East River, so we will need to bike on 2nd Avenue for parts of this.) You can exit the ride wherever you're close to home, or bike with us to Brooklyn if that's your destination. **Route** You can view the route on [Ride with GPS](https://ridewithgps.com/routes/47093411) **What to bring** * Head light and tail light are essential * Picnic blanket if you have one * Picnic snacks or food to share * Your own beverages The bathrooms on Randalls Island are often closed, so please plan accordingly. There are no services, so make sure to bring enough food and drink. If want you to join at Randall's Island at 7:45pm, let us know in the comments. This ride is all about the evening sky. Rainy, drizzly or very cloudy weather will cancel this ride. **Please maintain your RSVP** If you can't attend, please update your RSVP so someone from the waiting list can have your spot. Riders with a history of "no shows" may be removed from the ride in favor of others on the waiting list. **Please respect the waiting list** We need to maintain our maximum rider-to-ride-leader ratio, so please respect the waiting list, thanks!

OC Trek - All Levels

Urban Athletics: NYC at Night Bike Ride

New York is a completely different city after dark. During the day, people are out riding bikes, soaking up the sunshine, and pretending they enjoy paying $8 for coffee. But once the sun goes down, most cyclists tuck their bikes away and head home. That’s like ordering a pizza, throwing away the cheese, and proudly announcing that the crust was the best part. You're missing half the experience. If you're a fellow night owl—or simply someone with questionable sleep habits—come join me for a late-night ride through the city. **The plan...** We'll meet in Union Square and pedal our way around some of New York City's most iconic landmarks. They're impressive during the day, but at night they transform into something even better: beautifully illuminated and, in some cases, suspiciously free of tourists. Our route includes the Washington Square Arch, the Brooklyn Bridge, South Street Seaport, the World Financial Center, Lincoln Center, Columbus Circle, the Plaza Hotel fountain, the glowing Apple cube, the sensory overload that is Times Square, the New York Public Library and its famous stone lions, and the Flatiron Building. We'll also do a loop through Central Park after dark, stopping at Bethesda Fountain and Belvedere Castle—because nothing says “good decision-making” like wandering through a giant park at midnight with a bunch of strangers from the internet. **The important stuff...** * The ride will be about 28 miles round trip at a casual pace of roughly 12 mph. If midnight is normally when you transform back into a pumpkin, this may not be the meetup for you—we'll be out late. * We'll stick to bike lanes whenever possible, but the city planners, in their infinite wisdom, neglected to place protected lanes directly in front of every famous attraction. You should be comfortable riding in traffic. Helmets and bike lights are absolutely required, both for safety and to improve your odds of being seen by taxis. * Please make sure your bike is in good working order before the meetup. Bring a lock, a spare tube, a patch kit, and a pump. New York has many wonderful qualities, but fixing your flat at 1:00 a.m. on the side of the road is not one of them. * Check your email before heading out for any last-minute updates and my phone number, which will be sent to everyone who RSVPs. * And speaking of RSVPs: please only sign up if you genuinely plan to come. Space is limited, and "I totally meant to make it" sadly does not propel a bicycle. Serial no-shows and last-minute cancellers may be removed from the event. * Sorry, no guests for this one. * Rain cancels the meetup, because while we enjoy adventure, recreating scenes from The Dark Knight on two wheels is a bridge too far.
