We're a regular(ish), year round(ish) bike ride based in Brooklyn, New York.
This week’s ride is dedicated to the trash, newly exposed under melting snow. It’s dedicated to the tree, limb freshly cut by some Parks Department arborist, dripping thin sap against a sunwashed sky. It’s the last junco, the first yellow-rumped warbler, seen on the same day. It’s the promise of fits and starts, sunshine and rain.
Our little ride hasn’t consistently happened since November, and that’s okay. I get down on myself whenever we cancel or postpone, even if I know I don’t have it in me to attend a ride, let alone lead it. Now that we’re starting back up, I feel a strong urge to open the throttle all the way and try to ride every week. But we’re gonna take it easy! Go with the flow, take the good weather as it comes, cancel when we need to.
This week is looking good, though! And that’s why we’re headed to part-time NBBC clubhouse Sea Witch tomorrow, Wednesday, March 25. Join us for a 14km jaunt with just one hill, up to Sunset Park to catch the tail end of sunset.
Our weeknight rides start on Wednesday at at Ride Brooklyn, 187 4 Av (between Degraw and Sackett).
