Tour de Bronx
 

i saw this event in NY City this coming Sunday anybody have done this ride im more interested in the 40 miles one.

if you been there how was it?

Thanks

Boring. Crap route.

But it's free. :)
Seriously, even the "full" ride is by no means a "sportive," just an excuse to get a big bunch of cyclists on the road at one time, "exploring" some part of town, which is fun in its own way sometimes. Like I suspect the 5 Boro Bike Tour was before it got ridiculously huge.

It's fun. Good opportunity for just cruising around the borough. I get a kick out of riding on a highway, closed for the event, where normally you would be killed in less than a minute. :)

But if all you enjoy about cycling is all-out hammering, it's not the event for you.

Indeed it was. I remember the very first one as a bunch of cyclists rode through my neighborhood and I wondered "WTF is that? How can I get down with them?" :lol:

The following year I was riding with them. It was indeed a lot of fun back in the 70s and early 80s before it got too damn big, although I did one about 2007 or so regardless, just for the nostalgia.

True...and it is for a good cause. Nevertheless, I ride out of the Bronx to go...ride. :)

If I sign up for the 40 miles ride and I change my mind for the 25 miles can I do that how is the 40 miles one? Thanks
