Hudson Greenway / Riverbank State Park Ride

Let’s ride our Bromptons from Lower Manhattan to Riverbank State Park across from 145th street for a picnic by the Hudson River and back! This is a 15-mile social ride at a slow pace, for Brompton bicycles only. **DETAILS** We’ll meet at the Hudson Greenway rest stop next to Christopher Street Pier, right across from Christopher Street and depart punctually after 30 minutes of socializing. We’ll roll at 11:30am sharp. At the meeting point, there are restrooms for us to use. If needed, restrooms will also be available at 43rd St and 69th St right by the Hudson Greenway. The entire route is on a paved, comfortable bike path, with very little traffic to cross and no major obstacles to expect. At Riverbank State Park, we will spread out on the grass, overlooking the Hudson River and have a picnic. After the picnic, we will ride back on the Hudson Greenway, just as we came, with the option for riders to either drop out when they are close to home or follow us across the Brooklyn Bridge into DUMBO, Brooklyn. We will have a small After Party on our rooftop terrace to round off the glorious day. **RIDE LEVEL:** Chill / Relaxed Pace: 16 kmh / 10 mph Distance: 15-19 miles (depending on your choice to ride back) There will be at least one short stop along the way.

We are planning to have a nice. leisurely picnic with a bounty of appetizers/tapas, e.g. bread, cheese, salads, wine etc. **PLEASE MAINTAIN YOUR RSVP!** If you can’t attend, please update your RSVP so someone from the waiting list can have your spot.

Weekly Prospect Park Wednesday Morning Ride

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, croissants and conversation 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](https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46497135) *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!

Bike the West Side Hwy from South Ferry to GW Bridge

postponed to May due to inconvenient fall weather during spring :/ Bike from Whitehall South Ferry to the GW Bridge. We will meet where the ferry lets bikers exit at the lower level. (If you're facing the ferry terminal then the exit is on the right where you see all the people at the bottom level of the boat exiting) We will take off shortly after 1pm (\~5 minute grace period). This will be a leisurely ride ; I have a class 1 ebike that I keep on level 2 or 3 as I'm training for the 5 boro bike tour May 3rd. The entire ride is \~22 miles back and forth. If you only want to join for the ride up- that's also fine (it's \~11 miles). Feel free to rent a citibike for the ride. There are approximately 3 "challenging" hills to get up. There are picnic tables right under the bridge that we can rest at and chat for at least a half an hour before we do the 10 miles back or people can do their own thing depending how tired they are. You can join for all or some of the ride. What to bring: extra sunscreen; bike repair kit if you have it; water/snacks for yourself; sunglasses to avoid pollen. Things to be aware of; on beautiful days the west side high way can be very congested so we'll practice safety as best as possible and most times have to ride single file. If you stop to take a break you can always catch up with us (I'll give my number to whomever wants to be able to text me during the ride). How to find me: I have electric blue hair and am Chilean. My bike is bright orange and my helmet is teal.

It's a free event! Only rain can stop us! Dear Neverwinterers, it's time to do one of our most famous rides through NY, CT and MA via the Harlem Valley Trail. We will have numerous stops and possibly visit the lakes. This route has plenty of places where you can refill the water and it is very environmentally friendly. Half of the trail goes via a protected bicycle lane, where you will never see cars. There will be some small hills but most of the time it will be flat ground.

Governors Island Expedition-The Hills Are Alive -SUNDAY-MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND

This will be a fun and interesting event. Another event to Forest Park is coming up on May 31. PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION OF THIS EVENT CAREFULLY AS WELL AS "WHAT WE'RE ABOUT" ON THIS MEETUP'S HOME PAGE BEFORE YOU RSVP IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO. I am asking you to please take your RSVP seriously. That does NOT mean you have to go -it means you PLAN to at this time. I just ask that all attendees be considerate with respect to the RSVP process. WE ARE LOOKING TO ADD SOME FIRST TIMERS. DO NOT RUSH THE RSVP PROCESS. IF YOU RSVP AND HAVE NEVER ATTENDED AN EVENT BEFORE WITH THIS GROUP, YOUR E-MAIL IS REQUIRED AS SPECIFIED BELOW WHETHER YOU ARE ON THE WAIT LIST OR THE GOING LIST. I CANNOT EMPHASIZE THIS ENOUGH. PLEASE ALSO READ MY POSTED COMMENTS. A MONETARY CASH CONTRIBUTION TO THE EVENT IS REQUIRED BUT THE AMOUNT OF THAT CONTRIBUTION IS UP TO YOU. (See details below.) Most of the events we conduct are free! IF YOU HAVE NEVER ATTENDED AN EVENT BEFORE WITH THE GROUP, I AM ASKING FOR YOUR HELP AND COOPERATION AS I PLAN THE EVENT. I AM REQUIRING THAT YOU SEND ME AN E-MAIL TO [bsb2@att.net](http://bsb2@att.net/) AS SOON AS YOU RSVP, EVEN IF YOU ARE ON THE WAIT LIST, AND PUT YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS IN THE BODY OF YOUR MESSAGE TO ME. THIS WILL HELP ME COMMUNICATE MORE EFFECTIVELY WITH THOSE WHO RSVP. SOMETIMES MEETUP MESSAGES DO NOT GET DELIVERED FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS. IF YOU CAN'T ABIDE BY THIS SIMPLE REQUEST, YOU ARE GOING TO END UP ON THE NOT GOING LIST. (NO GUESTS UNLESS YOU HAVE ATTENDED AN EVENT BEFORE WITH THIS GROUP. YOU CAN ALWAYS HAVE YOUR GUEST SIGN UP JUST AS YOU DID IF YOU HAVE NEVER ATTENDED AN EVENT BEFORE WITH THIS GROUP.) The wait list for this group does NOT operate in a conventional way. Those on the wait list will NOT be moved to the going list automatically. I do NOT believe that the Meetup waitlist works well for a number of reasons. IF APPLICABLE, ALWAYS JOIN THE WAIT LIST WITH LOW PRIORITY WHICH IS FREE. IF THERE IS A WAITLIST, IT APPEARS MEETUP WILL ASK YOU IF YOU WANT TO JOIN MEETUP + BUT IN SMALLER LETTERS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE YOU CAN CLICK CONTINUE WITH THE FREE PLAN. There is NEVER a need to pay extra to use Meetup's High Priority wait list classification for this group. ON THIS EVENT, WE WILL REQUIRE A MONETARY CONTRIBUTION - CASH-AT THE BEGINNING OF THE EVENT BUT THE AMOUNT OF THAT CONTRIBUTION IS ENTIRELY UP TO YOU. THERE IS ALWAYS A MONEY BACK GUARANTEE IF YOU FEEL I HAVE NOT EARNED YOUR CONTRIBUTION. Meetup charges an Organizer like me to run the group, it's not a fortune, although the amount was raised substantially and I spend much time and effort planning and preparing for an event. You can contribute whatever you want at the BEGINNING of an event IN CASH. (On most events, I will NOT accept any monetary contributions). PLEASE ALSO READ "WHAT WE'RE ABOUT" ON THIS MEETUP'S HOME PAGE WHICH INCLUDES THE WAIVER OF LIABILITY BEFORE YOU RSVP IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO. (THE WAIVER OF LIABILITY HAS BEEN POSTED SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THIS MEETUP GROUP) I bet you thought I forgot the description of the event! I didn't-I just wanted to make sure you understand how we do things so you are comfortable with that. This will be a fun, relatively fast paced comprehensive 5 mile hiking tour around historic Governors Island. It’s a short free ferry ride in the morning from Manhattan. We will stop very briefly a number of times to talk about the history of the island, some of the interesting buildings there and the design features of the relatively new park. The Island has undergone some massive changes fairly recently. Part of the Island is full of historic buildings and the other part is a beautiful Park with some striking views of the City -which will become even more striking because 4 hills- all different – will be accessible to the public when we go. (Photo by Philip-May 2022) I WILL SEND YOU INFO ON HOW TO GET A **FREE** TICKET FOR THE FERRY. PLEASE GET A FREE TICKET. It's easy. MEETING DETAILS WILL BE SENT BY E-MAIL TO THOSE WHO RSVP NO LATER THAN THE EVENING BEFORE THE EVENT AND PROBABLY SOONER. IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO, ON YOUR DESKTOP, PLEASE CLICK ON YOUR PROFILE WHICH IS ON THE TOP RIGHT OF THE SITE, THEN CLICK "SETTINGS", THEN CLICK E-MAIL UPDATES" ON THE LEFT. MAKE SURE YOUR E-MAIL UPDATES ARE ON AND WHERE IT SAYS "UPDATES ABOUT YOU”, CHECK MESSAGES BOX. THIS WILL HELP TO INSURE YOU GET MESSAGES FROM ME. I LIKE TO THINK THOSE MESSAGES ARE IMPORTANT. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE YOUR SETTINGS FOR A SPECIFIC GROUP WHICH MAY BE HELPFUL IF YOU BELONG TO MANY MEETUP GROUPS. I AM GOING TO LIMIT REGISTRATION TO AROUND 25 MEMBERS. There may be a security check before you board the Ferry so please leave your weapons at home. We will meet at 10:05 A.M. to catch the next departing ferry which is FREE at this time of the day. YOU MUST ARRIVE ON TIME TO CATCH THE FERRY. AND THERE WILL BE A LONG LINE WHICH DOES MOVE FAST. It’s less crowded on the Island in the morning. (We start early because, to me, it's like going to a lunch buffet-you want to get there early before everyone breathes on the food!) Bring water. We are going to finish AROUND 1:45 p.m or so. You can bring lunch to eat on the Island AFTER we finish. THIS GROUP NEVER STOPS TO GO FOOD SHOPPING. If you want to shop for food after the tour is finished, that's another story! I am also going to ask that people NOT post any comments or questions prior to the event. You have more than enough information to do this once you get the meeting details. No offense, but I don’t need to know-and probably neither does anyone else- what you are doing that day if you can’t make it or what you think the weather will be. AFTER the event, post as many comments and photos as you like. Please respect my wishes on this. If the weather forecast is really bad, I will post a notice on the day of the hike by 7:00 A.M. If there is no notice, we go.
