We're a regular(ish), year round(ish) bike ride based in Brooklyn, New York.
Thanksgiving week marks the denouement of an incredible nbbc season. Folks start traveling, winter starts winter-ing, and we could all use a break. So this week, we’re yet again taking a direct flight to the epitome of urban coziness: the archetypical uptown diner! Think Belvedere Castle ride, except it’ll be colder, shorter, and this diner is actually open 24/7.
Whether given by birth or built from scratch, all families are a work in progress. For those traveling abroad this week, we wish you pleasant journeys into open arms. For those sticking around the city, join us for some family construction of our own.
This is a 33 km (20 mi) round trip with dinner in the middle. Weather is looking balmy and possibly wet. We’ll send a final decision around noon on Wednesday. We’re also anticipating a smaller group, so jordan is making the executive decision to crank up the average speed just a bit to 20 kph (12 mph). We usually average 16 kph (10 mph).
Our destination is the Midnight Express diner on 89 St & 2 Av in Manhattan. Don’t want to ride? Take the Q and meet us there around 8:00! Don’t want to ride back? Either skip dinner and catch the 8:25 ferry at E 90 St, or take the Q later.
Our weeknight rides start on Wednesday at at Ride Brooklyn, 187 4 Av (between Degraw and Sackett).
