Tour de Staten Island | Bike the Boros
It's a great ride and a pretty easy one, so it's a good way to start the season. The one issue I had in Freshkills was that there was a lot of rusty water (I keep telling myself it was just rust and mud...nothing else) across the roadway that you couldn't avoid riding through. Everyone finished that segment spattered. However, there was a rest stop right before that segment that you looped back by at the end of it where there was running water. I wound up using my water bottle to wash my bike and myself before continuing on.

Other than that little thing, it was really pleasant and I'm doing it again this year.
