Looks like registration is closed. It's the 30-year anniversary, there was an article in Bicycling make etc etc.
Sometimes it's more like a walkathon anyway. I'm going riding out in Jersey.

(May 3 07, 08:30)eah when they do the transition from 6th avenue to central park, it bottle necks like crazy.
Still a nice ride, taking over the BQE and all.

Yeah it's cool when you ride by and a band is playing out of a storefront in Wmsburg and people are stopping to drink beer...
Or flying down the Verazzano

can they actually stop you from riding in it if you haven't registered? can you not join the back of the pack at some point during the ride?

if you dont have a official jesery via early registry they gave you a wrist band and a number last year.

You can try and register at Battery Park early in the AM if you want to be 'legit'

I bet some people who registered don't show up too, so maybe there's some slack for on-the-spot registration.
One year we were absolutely last up Church street. LAST. A motorcycle cop was escorting us up 6th ave
