NYC riders - Tour de Bronx, Sunday Oct. 22
Anyone doing this ride on their SS or FG? Apparently, they get a few thousand riders every year, so should be a blast. I'm planning on doing the 40-mile route starting from Bronx County Building at 161 Street & The Grand Concourse (10am check-in). I'll either take the subway or ride up from Central Park if others want to ride up.
The price is right - registration for the ride is free, as are lunch and snacks.

Anyone interested in meeting up at Central Park and riding up to the County Building start?
Are the folks coming up from Brooklyn passing near Central Park?

I think it's about 5 miles to the County Building start from Engineer's Gate. To be on the conservative side (in case anyone has a mechanical), I suggest we meet at 9:25am-9:30am, and push off at 9:35am sharp. 25 min to get to the check-in should be plenty.
If we can get a few people (say 3 or more), we can just ride up without trying to meet up with the guys coming from Brooklyn - unless they're passing through Central Park (but I would guess they're going up the east side).
