Tour De Queens was like a shorter version of the Tour De Bronx - lots of hills and it seemed more varied than the Tour De Brooklyn - at least the year that I did the TDB. We started by the Unisphere and rode east along the waterfront. There was a rest stop in Queensbridge Park, with bananas, muffins, energy bars and water. Then we came back to Flushing Meadows by way of Newtown Creek and Masbeth. The ride was advertised as 20 miles but my Polar said 23 miles. The only downside was the sun and the pace was really slow - I averaged something like 7.4 mph. I suspect the police escort set the pace. They even held the ride, at one point, for 20 minute compression stop.
