New York City Five Boros Bike Ride

Join 32,000 cyclists from all 50 states and 40+ countries on May 5 for the 45th annual New York City Five Boros Bike Ride. Will be creating a "Team South Jersey" for members of Outdoors Club of South Jersey and South Jersey Ski Club. For insurance reasons you must be a member of one.

This 40 mile bike ride begins in Tribeca (Downtown Manhattan), travels north through Central Park and up into the Bronx, then down the Harlem River Drive back to Manhattan and Crosses the Queensborough Bridge into Queens. From there it bisects Brooklyn first through neighborhoods then enters on to the Brooklyn – Queens Expressway and over the Verrazano Bridge into Staten Island and ends at Park where a souvenir medal is awarded to all in a party atmosphere. It is EXTREMELY well organized and all cross streets are controlled by police for safety, two large break areas with free snacks, water and bike repair. The entry fee is $139. There is an incredible amount of energy in the air!
