RESCHEDULED-Sunset Tour From the West Village/ Chelsea to the Hudson Yards

Sat, Jul 25, 8:30 PM
From New York City Hiking Tours
4.9

If you have NEVER attended an event before with this group, please send me your e-mail to my e-mail as requested below AFTER CAREFULLY READING THE DESCRIPTION OF THIS EVENT. THIS EVENT WAS RESCHEDULED FROM JULY 3. We have another sunset event on August 7 as well. I use capital letters to emphasize stuff not to shout at you! WE ARE LOOKING TO ADD SOME FIRST TIMERS. PLEASE READ WHAT I WRITE CAREFULLY. DO NOT RUSH THE RSVP PROCESS. WE CAN USUALLY MAKE ROOM FOR YOU IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT ATTENDING. IF YOU RSVP AND HAVE NEVER ATTENDED AN EVENT BEFORE WITH THIS GROUP, YOUR E-MAIL IS REQUIRED AS SPECIFIED BELOW WHETHER YOU ARE ON THE WAIT LIST OR THE GOING LIST. WE ARE GOING TO TRY TO BEAT THE HEAT ONCE AGAIN. WE TRY TO CONDUCT THIS EVENT EVERY YEAR AROUND THIS TIME. This event will be relatively fast paced, fun and interesting on this extra long holiday weekend. The description of this event and how we do things is so long, I sometimes forget what I wrote. Humor me and keep reading. PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION OF THIS EVENT CAREFULLY AS WELL AS "WHAT WE'RE ABOUT" ON THIS MEETUP'S HOME PAGE BEFORE YOU RSVP IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO. I am asking you to please take your RSVP seriously. That does NOT mean you have to go -it means you PLAN to at this time. I just ask that all attendees be considerate with respect to the RSVP process. A MONETARY CASH CONTRIBUTION TO THE EVENT IS REQUIRED BUT THE AMOUNT OF THAT CONTRIBUTION IS UP TO YOU. (See details below.) There is even a money back guarantee. Most of the events we conduct are free! IF YOU HAVE NEVER ATTENDED AN EVENT BEFORE WITH THE GROUP, I AM ASKING FOR YOUR HELP AND COOPERATION AS I PLAN THE EVENT. I AM REQUIRING THAT YOU SEND ME AN E-MAIL TO [bsb2@att.net](http://bsb2@att.net/) AS SOON AS YOU RSVP, EVEN IF YOU ARE ON THE WAIT LIST, AND PUT YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS IN THE BODY OF YOUR MESSAGE TO ME. THIS WILL HELP ME COMMUNICATE MORE EFFECTIVELY WITH THOSE WHO RSVP. SOMETIMES MEETUP MESSAGES DO NOT GET DELIVERED FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS. IF YOU CAN'T ABIDE BY THIS SIMPLE REQUEST, YOU ARE GOING TO END UP ON THE NOT GOING LIST. (NO GUESTS UNLESS YOU HAVE ATTENDED AN EVENT BEFORE WITH THIS GROUP. YOU CAN ALWAYS HAVE YOUR GUEST SIGN UP JUST AS YOU DID IF YOU HAVE NEVER ATTENDED AN EVENT BEFORE WITH THIS GROUP.) The wait list for this group does NOT operate in a conventional way. Those on the wait list will NOT be moved to the going list automatically. I do NOT believe that the Meetup waitlist works well for a number of reasons. IF APPLICABLE, ALWAYS JOIN THE WAIT LIST WITH LOW PRIORITY WHICH IS FREE. IF THERE IS A WAITLIST, IT APPEARS MEETUP WILL ASK YOU IF YOU WANT TO JOIN MEETUP + BUT IN SMALLER LETTERS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE YOU CAN CLICK CONTINUE WITH THE FREE PLAN. There is NEVER a need to pay extra to use Meetup's High Priority wait list classification for this group. ON THIS EVENT, WE WILL REQUIRE A MONETARY CONTRIBUTION - CASH-AT THE BEGINNING OF THE EVENT BUT THE AMOUNT OF THAT CONTRIBUTION IS ENTIRELY UP TO YOU. THERE IS ALWAYS A MONEY BACK GUARANTEE IF YOU FEEL I HAVE NOT EARNED YOUR CONTRIBUTION. Meetup charges an Organizer like me to run the group, it's not a fortune, although the amount was raised substantially and I spend much time and effort planning and preparing for an event. You can contribute whatever you want at the BEGINNING of an event IN CASH. (On most events, I will NOT accept any monetary contributions). I bet you thought I forgot the description of the event! I didn't-I just wanted to make sure you understand how we do things so you are comfortable with that. WE WILL START CLOSE TO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AND WE WILL FINISH NEAR THE #7 HUDSON YARDS TRAIN STATION AT 34TH STREET AND VERY CLOSE TO PENN/MOYNIHAN STATION. This will be a fun and interesting fast paced tour of around 5 miles. We are going to start in the West Village where we will explore some historic and architectural wonders and then wander along the Hudson River Waterfront to the Hudson Yards. We may walk on the High Line for a short while. The views from the waterfront are great. (Photo by Thomas) I will keep things moving but I will stop to briefly talk about what we are observing. PLEASE BRING DINNER AND WATER. THIS GROUP NEVER SHOPS FOR FOOD ON AN EVENT. PLEASE ALSO READ "WHAT WE'RE ABOUT" ON THIS MEETUP'S HOME PAGE BEFORE YOU RSVP IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE WAIVER OF LIABILITY ON "WHAT WE'RE ABOUT” NOW SPECIFICALLY REFERENCES THE CORONA VIRUS. (THE WAIVER OF LIABILITY HAS BEEN POSTED SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THIS MEETUP GROUP) MEETING DETAILS WILL BE SENT BY A MEETUP MESSAGE TO THOSE WHO RSVP NO LATER THAN THE EVENING BEFORE THE EVENT AND PROBABLY SOONER. REGISTRATION IS LIMITED TO AROUND 20-25 MEMBERS. IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO, ON YOUR DESKTOP, PLEASE CLICK ON YOUR PROFILE WHICH IS ON THE TOP RIGHT OF THE SITE, THEN CLICK "SETTINGS", THEN CLICK E-MAIL UPDATES" ON THE LEFT. MAKE SURE YOUR E-MAIL UPDATES ARE ON AND WHERE IT SAYS "UPDATES ABOUT YOU”, CHECK MESSAGES BOX. THIS WILL HELP TO INSURE YOU GET MESSAGES FROM ME. I LIKE TO THINK THOSE MESSAGES ARE IMPORTANT. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN EVEN CUSTOMIZE YOR SETTINGS TO GET MESSAGES FROM SELECT GROUPS. I am going to ask that people not post any comments or questions prior to the event. (Please just respect my wishes and don't do it.) You have more than enough information to do this once you get the meeting details. No offense, but I don’t need to know-and neither does anyone else- what you are doing that day if you can’t make it or what you think the weather will be. AFTER the event, post as many comments and photos as you like. If the weather forecast is really bad, I will post a notice on the day of the tour by 1:00 P.M. If there is no notice, we go.

Urban Athletics: Pedals & Pizza – Manhattan

Urban Athletics: Pedals & Pizza – Manhattan

Sun, Aug 2, 3:30 PM
From I wanted to do that...Just not alone!!
4.8

During this cycling series we'll explore New York City one neighborhood—and one slice—at a time. Each ride takes us to a different borough or neighborhood in search of the best pizza, hidden gems, neighborhood institutions, and legendary slice shops. Every event is a new route, new flavors, and a new excuse to ride. Our first ride kicks things off in Manhattan. We'll cruise through some of Manhattan's most iconic neighborhoods, stopping at several pizzerias to sample slices, compare notes, and answer the question that has divided New Yorkers for decades: Who really makes the best pizza in the city? Spoiler: We probably won't agree. That's why this is a series. **The Ride** * Approximately 20 miles * 4 or so pizza stops * Relaxed, social pace with frequent breaks * Plenty of opportunities for photos (of the city and the pizza) **Tentative Pizzerias** * L’industrie * Scarr's Pizza) * Mama's Too! * Patsy's (Route and stops may change depending on group size, weather, and wait times.) **Cost** Everyone pays for their own slices and drinks. The goal isn't to eat an entire pizza at every stop—it's to sample a variety. Pace yourself... this is a marathon, not a mozzarella sprint. **Bring** * A bike in good working condition * Helmet (strongly encouraged) * Water bottle * Bike lock * Cash or card for pizza * An appetite and a sense of adventure **Who should join?** Anyone comfortable riding in NYC traffic at a relaxed pace. This isn't a race—nobody gets dropped unless they secretly stop for a slice without telling the group. Whether you're a cyclist who loves pizza or a pizza lover willing to pedal for your next slice, this meetup is all about good food, great company, and exploring the city from the best seat possible—a bike. Come hungry. Ride happy. And remember... **Calories consumed while biking between pizzerias are scientifically impossible to count!**

11th Annual Rockaway Ride

11th Annual Rockaway Ride

Sat, Jul 25, 3:00 PM
From Outsiders NY
4.6

**REGISTER HERE TO ATTEND [https://joinoutsiders.com/events](https://joinoutsiders.com/events)** **RESCHEDULED due to RAIN. The new date is July 25th** The Rockaway Ride is Outsiders' flagship summer tradition: a 20-mile journey from downtown Manhattan to the shores of Rockaway Beach. You'll cross the Brooklyn Bridge, wind through some of New York's most iconic and under-explored neighborhoods, and make a pit stop in Red Hook before pushing all the way out to Queens. And when you roll up to the beach, the real party begins. **THE RIDE** This isn't a race. No spandex required, no carbon fiber in sight. Think jean shorts, commuter bikes, and good company. We roll at a social pace, which means plenty of time to take in the city, chat with the group, and actually enjoy the journey. The whole thing takes about 3 hours, and every mile is worth it. There's no better way to see New York than from a bike, and this route takes you through corners of the city that even lifelong locals have never explored. Starting at Unlimited Biking on Chambers St, you'll cross the **Brooklyn Bridge** and make your way to **Red Hook** for a stop at the legendary **Steve's Authentic Key Lime Pie**. From there, the route carries you up to **Prospect Park**, entering at 9th Street and cutting through one of Brooklyn's greatest treasures. You'll exit onto **Ocean Ave** and head south through **Midwood**, into **Marine Park**, and then push east through the Rockaways all the way to the sand. Twenty miles. Eight neighborhoods. One unbeatable finish line. 📍 Full route map: *[View Here](https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/2/viewer?mid=1RulYNlE1mtprWP1KlOzpo1ne0KawUAY&ll=40.640321227760346%2C-73.9144614&z=12)* **RED HOOK STOP** Our mid-ride stop in Red Hook is worth the miles on its own. Pick up a slice from **Steve's Key Lime Pie**, a neighborhood institution and one of the best bites in all of New York. Don't skip it. **THE BEACH** This is where the afternoon takes off. Once you hit the sand, the ride is done and the party is on. We'll be posted up at Rockaway Beach 86 for the rest of the afternoon: swimming in the waves, playing beach volleyball, and soaking up the sun with good music going all day. Grab food and drinks at **Ripper's**, one of the best beach bars in the city, right on the boardwalk. Complimentary drinks on us in our beach coolers to celebrate another year on the road. 🍻 This is the finish line, and it looks a lot like summer. **NEED A BIKE?** Rent through our partners at Unlimited Biking at a discounted rate. **They'll even pick it up at the beach so you ride home free**. Reserve here: *Unlimited Biking Rentals -* [https://unlimitedbiking.com/events/annual-rockaway-ride/](https://unlimitedbiking.com/events/annual-rockaway-ride/) **EVENT DETAILS** 📅 Saturday\, July 25th \| 11:00 AM 🚴 20 miles \| Approx\. 3 hours 📍 Unlimited Biking\, 79 Chambers St\, New York\, NY 10038 🗺 Route Map: *View Here* **WHAT TO KNOW** * Bring your own bike, water, and sunscreen * Return trip via ferry and subway * Please consult your doctor if you have any medical conditions that may affect your ability to complete the ride * Waiver required, sign before attending: *Fill out here* See you at the start line.
