Randalls Island Full Moon and Picnic Ride

Full Moon Ride! Friday, August 28 will be a full moon. Want to ride with Brompton friends to Randalls Island and enjoy a moonlit picnic? This is a chill ride with equal emphasis on riding, socializing and enjoying the NYC evening sky. *This ride is for Brompton bicycles only.* **Meeting/Departure** We'll meet at the southeast corner of Queensbridge Park and depart punctually after 15 minutes of socializing. (Note: We need to depart on time due to timing with the sunset). Then we'll bike up to Astoria Park and cross the RFK bridge to Randall’s Island. **Sunset** We'll stop to enjoy the sunset from Astoria Park and from the RFK Bridge. **Full Moon** We'll spread our blankets at the southern tip of Randalls Island and watch the moon rise and city lights in all their splendor. **Picnic** Please bring your own beverage, picnic blanket, and snacks to share. **Return** Feel free to depart earlier, but we'll exit the island as a group around 10:00, crossing the 103rd Street Bridge to Manhattan. We'll bike down the East River and end the ride at the Manhattan side of the Queensboro Bridge. (There are path closings on the East River, so we will need to bike on 2nd Avenue for parts of this.) You can exit the ride wherever you're close to home, or bike with us to Brooklyn if that's your destination. **Route** You can view the route on [Ride with GPS](https://ridewithgps.com/routes/47093411) **What to bring** * Head light and tail light are essential * Picnic blanket if you have one * Picnic snacks or food to share * Your own beverages The bathrooms on Randalls Island are often closed, so please plan accordingly. There are no services, so make sure to bring enough food and drink. If want you to join at Randall's Island at 7:45pm, let us know in the comments. This ride is all about the evening sky.

Urban Athletics: NYC at Night Bike Ride

New York is a completely different city after dark. During the day, people are out riding bikes, soaking up the sunshine, and pretending they enjoy paying $8 for coffee. But once the sun goes down, most cyclists tuck their bikes away and head home. That’s like ordering a pizza, throwing away the cheese, and proudly announcing that the crust was the best part. You're missing half the experience. If you're a fellow night owl—or simply someone with questionable sleep habits—come join me for a late-night ride through the city. **The plan...** We'll meet in Union Square and pedal our way around some of New York City's most iconic landmarks. They're impressive during the day, but at night they transform into something even better: beautifully illuminated and, in some cases, suspiciously free of tourists. Our route includes the Washington Square Arch, the Brooklyn Bridge, South Street Seaport, the World Financial Center, Lincoln Center, Columbus Circle, the Plaza Hotel fountain, the glowing Apple cube, the sensory overload that is Times Square, the New York Public Library and its famous stone lions, and the Flatiron Building. We'll also do a loop through Central Park after dark, stopping at Bethesda Fountain and Belvedere Castle—because nothing says “good decision-making” like wandering through a giant park at midnight with a bunch of strangers from the internet. **The important stuff...** * The ride will be about 28 miles round trip at a casual pace of roughly 12 mph. If midnight is normally when you transform back into a pumpkin, this may not be the meetup for you—we'll be out late. * We'll stick to bike lanes whenever possible, but the city planners, in their infinite wisdom, neglected to place protected lanes directly in front of every famous attraction. You should be comfortable riding in traffic. Helmets and bike lights are absolutely required, both for safety and to improve your odds of being seen by taxis. * Please make sure your bike is in good working order before the meetup. Bring a lock, a spare tube, a patch kit, and a pump. New York has many wonderful qualities, but fixing your flat at 1:00 a.m. on the side of the road is not one of them. * Check your email before heading out for any last-minute updates and my phone number, which will be sent to everyone who RSVPs. * And speaking of RSVPs: please only sign up if you genuinely plan to come. Space is limited, and "I totally meant to make it" sadly does not propel a bicycle. Serial no-shows and last-minute cancellers may be removed from the event. * Sorry, no guests for this one. * Rain cancels the meetup, because while we enjoy adventure, recreating scenes from The Dark Knight on two wheels is a bridge too far.

Aug 21-23 Thousand Island, Howe Caverns & Green Lakes $289 (2 Nights)

**THOUSAND ISLANDS** The **Thousand Islands** ([French](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_language): *Mille-Îles*, pronounced [\[mil il\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/French)) constitute a North American [archipelago](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archipelago) of 1,864 islands[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thousand_Islands#cite_note-First_Time_Visitors-1) that straddles the [Canada–US border](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada%E2%80%93United_States_border) in the [Saint Lawrence River](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Lawrence_River) as it emerges from the northeast corner of [Lake Ontario](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Ontario). They stretch for about 50 miles (80 km) downstream from [Kingston, Ontario](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingston,_Ontario). The Canadian islands are in the province of [Ontario](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontario) and the U.S. islands in the state of [New York](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_(state)). The islands range in size from over 40 square miles (100 km2) to smaller islands occupied by a single residence, or uninhabited outcroppings of rocks. To count as one of the Thousand Islands, emergent land within the river channel must have at least one square foot (0.093 m2) of land above water level year-round, and support at least two living trees.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thousand_Islands#cite_note-WaPO_1000IslandsDef-2)[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thousand_Islands#cite_note-TourBook_Def-3) More on [https://visit1000islands.com/](https://visit1000islands.com/) ### **GREEN LAKES STATE PARK** **Green Lakes State Park** is a [New York State Park](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_State_Park) located east of [Syracuse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syracuse,_New_York) in the town of [Manlius](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manlius_(town),_New_York). The park is centered on two small [meromictic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meromictic) lakes, [Green Lake](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Lake_(New_York)) and [Round Lake](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round_Lake_National_Natural_Landmark), which have an unusual blue-green color,[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Lakes_State_Park#cite_note-Hilfinger-2) and preserves the largest stand of old growth forest in Central New York.[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Lakes_State_Park#cite_note-terra-3) The lakes lie at the base of a gorge just over a mile long, both of which are remnants of the ice ages and exemplify the unusual geology of upstate New York. Green Lake has a surface area of 65 acres and a maximum depth of 195 feet. Round Lake has a surface area of 34 acres and a maximum depth of 170 feet.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Lakes_State_Park#cite_note-hike-4) More on [https://parks.ny.gov/visit/state-parks/green-lakes-state-park](https://parks.ny.gov/visit/state-parks/green-lakes-state-park) **HOWE CAVERNS** **Howe Caverns** is a limestone [solutional cave](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solutional_cave), operated as a [show cave](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Show_cave), in the hamlet of [Howes Cave](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howes_Cave,_New_York), [Schoharie County, New York](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schoharie_County,_New_York). Howe Caverns is a popular [tourist attraction](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourist_attraction), providing visitors with a sense of [caving](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caving) or spelunking, without needing the advanced equipment and training usually associated with such adventures. **Traditional Cave Tours - Every tour of Howe Caverns begins with a 156 ft descent below the earth’s surface…** On your journey you will wind through limestone corridors, pass through cavernous galleries, walk under massive boulders, and take a serene boat ride on a subterranean riverbed carved over countless millennia. **The cave is 52°F (11°C) so a jacket or sweatshirt and closed-toed comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Flip flops are NOT permitted in the cave.** The cave tour consists of a 1.25 mile walk with a 0.25 mile boat ride. There are 139 stairs throughout the tour.

Manhattan Summer Streets 2026

Let’s participate in Manhattan Summer Streets 2026. Summer Streets is an annual celebration of New York City's most valuable public space – our streets. On select summer Saturdays our city’s usual traffic noise and honking horns will be replaced with open streets teeming with walkers, bikers, runners, and performers. Discover a wealth of free cultural programs, performances, fitness classes, interactive art, giveaways, and much more as you experience the city in this whole new way. We’ll meet at the Maine Monument in the southwest corner of Central Park, opposite Columbus Circle, at 10:30 am. Wheels up at 11 am sharp. We’ll ride the lower part of the park drive up to 72nd Street, exit and head east to Park Avenue, where we’ll pick up the vehicle-free Summer Streets and head south. Our route will take us around Grand Central Terminal and south on Park Avenue, Fourth Avenue and finally Lafayette Street to the Brooklyn Bridge (which we will not ride over). At the bridge we will turn around and retrace the same route back to Columbus Circle, where we can grab a bite in the Turnstyle Underground Market. Criollas has wonderful empanadas and is owned by a Bromptoneer. There are other options as well. https://share.google/oFEBoRmo7ViR1zp8t If you are more adventurous and want to ride north of 72nd Street on Park Avenue (the traffic-free route continues to Dykman Street in Northern Manhattan/Inwood), you will have the option to leave the group at that point. Note: Summer Streets does get crowded and our group will likely separate. With that in mind, we will stop at prearranged points to regather and continue. Here are those pre-arranged points: SOUTHBOUND/DOWNTOWN Park Avenue and 36th Street (northwest corner) Lafayette Street and East 10th Street (northwest corner) Lafayette Street and Chambers Street (northwest corner) NORTHBOUND/UPTOWN Park Avenue and 46th Street (northeast corner) Park Avenue and 71st Street (on 71st between the northbound and southbound lanes of Park Avenue) This is a chill ride with a total distance of approximately 12 miles. It is generally flat, but there is a hill on the way back, on Park Avenue above 50th Street. Here is our ride route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/56383131 More on Summer Streets: https://share.google/4p7Tens9xiie4chJu
