Brooklyn & Jamaica Bay - Recap
Sunday, December 13, 2020 - Recap
9 Landmark Districts & The Beach!
41 miles (or less w/ 🚇)
Sunday, December 13, 2020
The goal of this ride is to do a loop around Jamaica Bay with a start/finish in downtown Brooklyn. We'll be going through NINE landmarked neighborhoods, Prospect Park, the new(ish) Shirley Chisholm State Park, and then looping around Jamaica Bay – going through Broad Channel, and hitting the boardwalk in the Rockaways.
Here's the route w/ cuesheet and download options…

There are a fair number subway options along the route in case you don't want to do the full 40 miles.
I haven't ridden much in Brooklyn, so this is a bit of an exploratory ride for me. Anyone with experience riding in the area, please let me know your thoughts.
In particular much of the trails in Shirley Chisolm Park are gravel, but my understanding is that there's a paved road going to the dock. So we may split briefly and regroup at the entrance/exit.
In terms of weather, other than the small chance of rain, it looks like it will be overcast with temps in the high 40s to low 50s.
