April 2018 Events
WE Bike 5BBT Training Ride – Roosevelt Island
Sunday, April 8
11:00am, wheels down 11:30, meet at Sutton Place Park South, at the park entrance on the corner of East 54th Street and Sutton Place South, Manhattan
RSVP
Whether you’re on our 5 Boro Bike Tour team and ready to train or you just want to have some fun on your bike, join us for a tour of Roosevelt Island and a bridge climbing challenge on Sunday, April 8th!
WE will bike over the Queensboro Bridge, head to the Roosevelt Island Bridge, and recover with a loop around Roosevelt Island before heading back into Manhattan the way we came. There will be a rest stop and bathroom break near the southern tip of the island close to the memorial. Our end spot is the same as our meeting spot.
This 10-mile bike ride will include four bridge crossings, so you’ll need a bike with gears in good working order and some experience climbing hills…er, bridges. Leave the Citi Bikes docked for this one!
Bring snacks, water and, as always, your helmet! WE’re looking forward to riding with you!
Rain date: Sunday, April 29
**Note:** This event is for women, female-identifying and gender non-conforming people only
