Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

During the week any time is fine really especially in the winter, but once the temperatures go up the weekends are too congested to ride in peace. I've ridden through that park at all sorts of hours but loved it on those summer night rides at 2am with friends.

If you want to ride Central Park at night, just show up for the Spring Series races in early March the first weekend of Night of the Living Dead (Daylight Savings) Time.

This is why winter is awesome. Yes, you freeze your balls off, but nobody is on the road, even cyclists.

Having said that, on the weekends, it's pretty good until about 9:00AM. Weekdays are like weekends during non rush-hour hours. Basically, CP is crowded, which is why I don't ride there

If the Big Love finale wasn't on I'd probably join you.

10PM and later is fine. The park closes at 1 AM. Watch out for raccoons crossing the road.
