This evening, we will follow the Queens route canceled by last week's thunderstorms. We will ride over to Flushing Meadows, tour the park, then peek at the Mets for an inning before exploring this week's highlight, the Iron Triangle in Willet's Point. The ride officially ends at the Bohemian Beer Hall in Astoria.

The general requirement for a fat-tired bicycle is waived for this week; all are welcome who can maintain an 18 MPH flat pace or whatever it is and are comfortable riding in traffic, industrial areas and inner city neighborhoods. This week route's will not include any significant off-road, cobblestone or railroad ballast. The upcoming weeks will and a fat-tired bicycle will be required.
