The Jewish Outdoors Club

Bike Ride – NYC to Brooklyn Who: JOC members What: Bike ride Where: Brooklyn Bridge start When: Sunday, December 4th at 10:00 AM Why: Explore the cool side of Brooklyn, including the ugliest house, the most crocheted bike, the craziest amusement ride, the best thin pizza and the most vibrant drumming circle. The weather at this point is forecasted to be about 50, which is perfect. Cost: $3 JOC Fee + pizza money (+ bicycle rental fees for those renting). The Plan: We will be meeting at the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan side, at the park benches at 10am. We’re leaving at 10:15 sharp. Bring your own bike or rent one from Bike and Roll at South St, Seaport (opens 9am.) For those of you who are bringing your own bicycle, please make sure it is in proper working condition (ie; the tires are inflated properly and the brakes work). Once everyone has their bikes ready to go, we will bike over the Brooklyn Bridge. The exact route will be a surprise until Sunday. (If you really need the details, email me and I”ll send you a route sheet). Am I fit for this ride? This isn’t a race and you don’t have to be Lance Armstrong to participate but we also have a specific destination to reach in a timely fashion. We will be casually riding approximately a total distance of 30 miles. The ride is basically flat save for a nice, short climb up the bridge both ways, and one hill in Brooklyn. What to Bring & Wear: Bicycle & Helmet. No helmet, no riding. Cycling Shoes or Sneakers Cycling Gloves, Pump, and Spare Tube / Patch Kit are optional, Comfortable Clothes (synthetic / breathable are the best), Backpack (to hold the following), Water Bottles / Hydration Pack filled with Water or Gatorade (2-Liter minimum), Lunch (for when we stop) and Snacks Sunscreen & Sunglasses JOC. $3 Fee (+ $$ for rentals fees for those renting and pizza). A Fun Attitude and Lots of Energy! Note: Temp under 34 or heavy rain will cancel.
