Biking to Red Hook and Back

11th Annual Rockaway Ride

**REGISTER HERE TO ATTEND [https://joinoutsiders.com/events](https://joinoutsiders.com/events)** 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 18th \| 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.

Bike the West Side Hwy from South Ferry to GW Bridge

postponed to May due to inconvenient fall weather during spring :/ Bike from Whitehall South Ferry to the GW Bridge. We will meet where the ferry lets bikers exit at the lower level. (If you're facing the ferry terminal then the exit is on the right where you see all the people at the bottom level of the boat exiting) We will take off shortly after 1pm (\~5 minute grace period). This will be a leisurely ride ; I have a class 1 ebike that I keep on level 2 or 3 as I'm training for the 5 boro bike tour May 3rd. The entire ride is \~22 miles back and forth. If you only want to join for the ride up- that's also fine (it's \~11 miles). Feel free to rent a citibike for the ride. There are approximately 3 "challenging" hills to get up. There are picnic tables right under the bridge that we can rest at and chat for at least a half an hour before we do the 10 miles back or people can do their own thing depending how tired they are. You can join for all or some of the ride. What to bring: extra sunscreen; bike repair kit if you have it; water/snacks for yourself; sunglasses to avoid pollen. Things to be aware of; on beautiful days the west side high way can be very congested so we'll practice safety as best as possible and most times have to ride single file. If you stop to take a break you can always catch up with us (I'll give my number to whomever wants to be able to text me during the ride). How to find me: I have electric blue hair and am Chilean. My bike is bright orange and my helmet is teal.

Bust your booties through Plitvice Lakes and Paklenica National Parks. Climb a freaking Via Ferrata to summit Bojin Kuk. And float through the 80+ islands that make up Kornati National Park.
