40 miles, 5 bridges, and 0 cars! That’s what the 5 Boro Bike Ride, held on Glen’s 50th birthday, promised. Since we’d spent the past couple of months riding in the rain, we figured we knew the drill and set out in the drizzle, along with 20,000+ other cyclists.
This bridge took us from our 2nd borough, the Bronx, back into Manhattan.Lots of riders wished Glen a happy birthday due to his celebratory headgear! This bridge took us from Manhattan to Queens (our 3rd borough).In Brooklyn, our 4th borough.Even the highway signs greeted us!About to get onto Glen’s favorite bridge, even though it was just the lower level, heading to our final borough, Staten Island.Oddly the “finish festival” was 3+ miles from the actual end of the course (the ferry terminal back to Manhattan).We made it to the end and took the ferry right by the Statue of Liberty back to Manhattan!Our route!We rode 10 miles on Saturday from the bike pick-up location back home. So over the weekend, we rode Glen’s age in miles.
