An easy, flat ride thru Brooklyn neighborhoods to Shirley Chisholm Park. Bring snack food and picnic in the park or on one of its piers. This is a recently renovated park with lovely trails (some paved, some gravel) down to the waterfront and a couple of piers. There are also picnic tables and porta sans in various locations. Check out the map of the park:  https://parks.ny.gov/parks/attachments/ShirleyChisholmShirleyChisholmStateParkMap.pdf.

If you think Long Island is strip malls and nightmare traffic, this is your chance to discover the gilded age glory of the Gold Coast. And if you think Long Island is flat, put on your big boy pants and consider 3095 feet of climbing in 57 miles, including one humdinger with a 12% average grade.

This is another of Claire and Linda's famous Dumpling rides.  Great anytime, but especially wonderful for those cold winter months where only short rides will do.
