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.
