Just got my packet for the 5 Borough Bike Tour — looks like we’re using blue bibs this year. Last year was my first 5BBT, and while the ride was great — perfect weather, great friends, a day on two wheels on roads shut down for me and 32,000 other pedal people — the end was nuts. We waited for hours for a ferry from Staten Island back to Manhattan. This year, I plan on riding the ride and stopping at the Verrazzano, before we leave Brooklyn, so as to avoid the massive jam.
Are you coming? Let me know and we’ll meet up! Hopefully no one will call me “Hammer-Flat” again this year. Sigh.
Here’s pics from last year.
