Bike Ride in Western Brooklyn

Today was an unsuccessful attempt to break my personal record of about 26 miles from the Bike Ride in Southern Brooklyn with Chin. I managed to go only about 25 miles today, but this time there were slopes involved (kind of). In did three laps in Prospect Park. (There was apparently a race going on, but casual cyclers were in the way. At least I was.)

Today's neighborhoods include Flatbush, Park Slope, Bay Ridge and Fort Hamilton.

Bike Ride in Southern Brooklyn

Chin and I went for a bike ride in Brooklyn today, which, for me, totaled to a little over 25 miles. We were out for about 5 hours, not all of it actually riding. (I had only planned on go 13 miles today. Geez.)

In the past, I had ridden along Belt Parkway to the Floyd Bennett Field and US Navy Reserve area only once. Last time (probably about 3 years ago), I was too afraid to continue across the Marine Parkway Bridge by myself. Today, on a whim, we pushed forward and visited the dismantled Fort Tilden and the beach on the Rockaway Inlet.

We passed through the Coney Island (with Astroland!), Brighton Beach, and Sheepshead Bay neighborhoods.
