it was alot easier than expected due to bike traffic jams and rest stops.
Bigger better challenge por favor.

funny, i saw a group of guys at a pub in park slope who had just finished. so i asked which bridges they went over. 10 min discussion ...i got distracted and i have no idea which bridges they went over. not sure they knew either. so do you know which bridges you went over?

see where it breaks off in Queens.
It's senseless to go that length.
Instead, cheat and cut through that Long Island City neighborhood

I'll be there along with 2 housemates and a handful of other friends. I'm looking forward to it so long as the weather's nice. It'll be my first year. I hear you have to try it once. A bit of a clusterf--k with so many people though.
- tasty0
worst part is funneling into central park..it's pretty smooth after that.
- mandomafioso0
Do you get there really early and try to start at the front or is it not worth it?
- tasty0
it's not worth it...i think u need "VIP" passes for that anyway.
Those are for the people who try to make it a race, it's really just a killer ride, and keep your eyes out for graffiti/street art...i saw some great stuff last year.
- Gordy220
I'm doing it but haven't ridden a bike in about 9 months.
- tasty0
they make it easy with plenty of rest stops if u need them.
Gordy you'll be fine. Eat the free oranges, water, and granola bars.
- tasty0
I'll slap a QBN sticker on my helmet if i can find one laying around my desk.
- I'll keep an eye out for it. Should be easy to spot it ; )mandomafioso
