STS2 - Orchard Beach, City Island, and Bronx Bikeways - Recap
Sunday, April 23, 2023 - Recap
NYC's Own Mid-Atlantic Seaside Town
52 miles (many 🚇 options along the way)
Sunday, April 23, 2023
Note: THIS IS A SUNDAY RIDE
We'll meet in downtown Manhattan and take the Hudson Greenway up to Inwood. We'll head into the Bronx via the University Heights Bridge. After some urban riding, we'll find some quiter streets and greenways as we make our way to Pelham Bay, City Island, and Orchard Beach. It can be hard to believe that City Island is part of NYC and not some Maryland shore town. The seafood by the water will leave you guessing. Note: most places are cash only. On the way out, we'll ride by the Orchard Beach and see its historic bathhouse. This was once called "the Riviera of NY."
We will explore some of the Bronx's new cycleways as we head down the Hutchinson Park Greenway, through some more Bronx parks, and over to Randalls Island. We'll take the RFK bridge into Astoria, down through Queens into Brooklyn and over the Williamsburg Bridge and finally end up in Thomkins Square Park in the East Village
Lots of subway/ferry options 🚇
Mileage: 52 miles
Feet Climbing: 1,469

Hi Jasper -- I will be meeting the group on the Hudson River Greenway just before the GWB. There is a small turnout near some bathrooms, and I will wait there at 10:30.
