Weekly Prospect Park Wednesday Morning Ride

Every Wednesday! Anyone looking for inspiration and community for your morning ride? Let's ride the Prospect Park Loop with a pack of Bromptons. We'll ride two times around Prospect Park. Afterwards, we'll have lattes, croissants and conversation at a bakery cafe 4 blocks from the park (or zoom off to work if your time is limited). This is intended as a short and sweet ride before your morning commute and people typically depart the cafe around 9-9:30am. You can view the route on [Ride with GPS](https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46497135) *We stick to our departure time: 7:35am* *As a morning ride, we need to ensure a consistent start time so people can plan around it for their work day. Thus, we'll unfold and ride at 7:35am. If you are running late, please post in the comments and we'll meet you for the second loop.* Happy Riding!

Urban Athletics: Bike the NYC Bridges by Night

The other night I was on my bike riding around town and was struck by how dramatically the vibe of the city changes once the sun sets. People get out on their cycles and enjoy this town during the day but most of us put them away when the evening comes. That's like ordering a slice of pizza, throwing away the cheese and only eating the crust -- you're only getting half of what makes the experience great. **The plan...** We are going to take a nighttime tour of the East River bridges, we'll wheel through three boroughs and cross over five spans -- the Queensboro, Pulaski, Williamsburg, Manhattan, and Brooklyn bridges. This ride will highlight the stunning vistas only viewable from our water crossings and take in different views of the sparkling nighttime Manhattan skyline. If there was ever a time to go through the hassle of carrying your camera with you, this will be it. **The important stuff...** • This is going to be a casually-paced ride of about 17 miles. Most of the ride will take place in bike lanes but there will be parts with some automobile congestion. You must be comfortable riding in a group and in traffic. Lights and reflectors for your bike are also REQUIRED by law. **Helmets are mandatory otherwise you will not be allowed to ride with the group.** • This is a night ride so dress to be seen by motorists and pedestrians -- bright or reflective clothing is a must. • Make sure your bike is in good working order before the meetup and bring a lock in case we need to leave our cycles. Also bring a patch repair kit, air pump, and spare inner tube. • Rain cancels the meetup. Here is the map of the ride: TO COME

Prospect Park Brompton Ride + Yoga + Moonlight Picnic

Anyone looking for inspiration and community for your wellness practice? Let's ride the Prospect Park Loop with a friendly group of Bromptons and enjoy free yoga in the beautiful Long Meadow. **Meet (6:15pm)** Meet us at the park entrance across from Grand Army Plaza at 6:15pm. **Brompton Ride (6:30 pm)** This is a chill ride. We'll do one loop around the park at moderate speed, ending at Prospect Park's Long Meadow for free yoga. View the Brompton route at this link: [Ride with GPS](https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46497135) **Free Yoga (7:00 pm)** Prospect Park Alliance presents free, outdoor yoga on the Long Meadow in a low-pressure, beautiful environment with hundreds of New Yorkers. You can read more and sign up for yoga on the [Prospect Park Yoga](https://www.prospectpark.org/visit-the-park/things-to-do/yoga-park/) official site. **Moonlight Picnic (8:00 pm)** After yoga we'll set up a picnic in Long Meadow. Please bring a blanket, beverage, and snacks to share. Sunset is at 8:30 and there will be a beautiful sliver of a moon. **What to Bring** * Picnic blanket, beverage, and snacks to share * Yoga mat (or towel) * The ride ends after dark. Please ensure you have a fully charged head lamp and rear lamp. **Important Notes** * Please sign up *in advance* for free yoga via the [Prospect Park Yoga](https://www.prospectpark.org/visit-the-park/things-to-do/yoga-park/) official site. (You only need to do this once per summer.) * We depart on the ride at exactly 6:30pm - this is to ensure we're on time for yoga. If you're running late, you can meet us at Long Meadow. * Prospect Park restroom opening times are inconsistent - they will likely be closed. Please plan accordingly and use the bathroom before arrival. * Free yoga is provided by Prospect Park and anyone can sign up (i.e. no need to join this meetup unless you're joining the ride and picnic.) **Weather and Cancellation** We'll cancel the ride if the weather looks rainy, or the ground is wet from prior downpours. It's no fun to do yoga or picnics on wet grass! We'll announce any cancellations by noon the day of the ride. Our Community Rules: 1. Helmets are required. Lights are required if riding in darkness. 2. No one gets left behind! 3. Be kind and encourage others. 4. Welcome new experiences and people. 5. This space is for gathering, not for selling. 6.
