The return of our ever loving Bicycle Beach Bums series! The return of all three (count ‘em, three) 5BBC Hall of Fame rides! Circumnavigation, anyone? Or in other words, Perimeter Redux: 5 boroughs (ahem), 5 rides that act like a chalk outline. And two of the aforementioned are part of an awe-inspiring four-rides-in-a-day Alfredo marathon that’s guaranteed to earn those who complete the quartet a special patch (or at least a special mention). Plus a special guided tour of perhaps the most unique Bridge that spans the Hudson. What better way is there to spend the summer (especially in these high gas price days) than to grab your bike and put pedal to the mettle? Don’t forget those extra water bottles, sunscreen and of course, your helmet! Also, remember to check our day rides listing for late breaking updates and schedule additions which arrived after the newsletter deadline.
