That's me and the Brooklyn Bridge above me. We rode over the bridge last Saturday as part of our last training ride!This SUNDAY is the day of the 5 Boro Bike Tour 2024! 5 Boro Bike RouteI can't believe that it's already here! Liz and I are really excited about it (even if we have to wake up super early on Sunday to get to the start in Battery Park at 6:16AM. ouch!). The tour goes from there through Central Park and Harlem, into the Bronx, back into Manhattan, into Queens, into Brooklyn, over the Verrazano Bridge, and finally into Staten Island. It's the only day of the year that a lot of roads and bridges are closed to cars so you can bike continuously through all 5 boroughs. It's going to be amazing.

The most we rode during our training was 30 miles and the tour is 42, but with a good meal (for energy!) and a good night's sleep, I'm sure we'll do great. And, there are plenty of rest stops to re-fuel and drink water.

Also, I'll be riding through Harlem so be sure to keep your eye out for me! There's going to be a gospel choir singing as we ride through the neighborhood. I'm looking forward to that!

I can't wait for Sunday. I'll tell you all how it goes next week. Wish me luck!

Finally, a video that is getting me pumped up for the ride:
