2022 5 Boro Bike Tour

Last week I went back to New York to participate in the 5 Boro Bike Tour.  This is an annual 40-mile (really 38 miles) cycling extravaganza that attracts 32,000 people who ride through all the city’s five boroughs.  This is the second time I have done the ride.  The weather was perfect – sunny and 60 degrees.  I was supposed to ride with a couple of friends from Brooklyn, but they ended up not wanting to get up early on a Sunday morning for a 9:50 start time.  So I went it alone, but you are not really alone with so many other people riding with you.  I met people who traveled from all over the world to ride on the world’s largest bike tour.  I finished in just under four hours, and I got a medal at the finish line!  I hope to do this again next year!
