2009 Summer Streets Ride from Astoria

How it works: RSVP is recommended to secure a spot, but we will have sign-ups at each location. Rain will cancel ride. T.A. staff and volunteers will be waiting for you at each location (look for the One Less Car shirt) to check you in. Rides will leave at 8:40 am. Our route will be posted in case you hit the snooze button one more time. Freshen up on your Biking Rules. This is a casual ride, not a race. We will follow the rules of the road -- stopping at all lights and stop signs (why not be noticed!). If you won't be joining the return ride please let the ride leader know at check-in.

Astoria Park, Queens

8:30 am
Meet up in Astoria Park in front of the World War I Memorial along Shore Boulevard
