This was the 2012 New York City Five Boros Ride. Forty-some odd miles around the city, touching each borough, with 38,000 other riders. Riding down the Avenue of the Americas with no car traffic is pretty neat. Went through Central Park, over to Brooklyn, over the Verrazono Narrows Bridge, and then back on the Staten Island Ferry.
