I am looking for suggestions for a good route that starts in Manhattan and heads to Brooklyn. Ideally, I'd like to ride about 30-40 miles on a route that is suited for a group that includes at least one inexperienced rider. I was kind of assuming that heading to Prospect Park was the way to go, but am open to all ideas.
A million bonus points for routes that include suggestions for a relaxing lunch pitstop....(note that the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory will be added to the route!)
Thanks in advance.

mother borough route
You could do worse than setting off from Columbus Circle; over the Queensborough Bridge; down through Williamsburg and round behind the Navy Yard; hang a left at some point to head up to the park; around the park stopping for lunch at the Park Slope Chip Shop on 5th st & 6th avenue; down Union and back along Smith St to the Manhattan Bridge; over the bridge and back to wherever you need to be in Manhattan. Its about 30ish miles I think.

Check your email for a cue sheet to Rockaway which can be shortened to just Brooklyn.
