Yonkers, NY to Coney Island to Brooklyn, NY Wow, what a day, the end of the first section of our tour (1,332mi / 30,332'). It started out similar to many others with a long stretch on a rail trail. There were a lot more people, though, probably because it is Sunday and we were close to New York City. Getting through Manhattan was easier and faster than expected. In fact, we overshot our turn to the Brooklyn Bridge. Megan took charge and got us rerouted to the bridge like a champion. The guy who made the route (me) neglected to notice that he had left in an old waypoint from many months ago. That had us kind of zigzagging around Brooklyn for a bit. Then, there were the junk miles to get to Coney Island so that we could say that we made it to the ocean. That stretch was very monotonous, like riding south bound through the avenues in San Francisco. We did it, though, and once we got to the boardwalk we took a selfie for our proof of passage. And, we got gelato at Coney's Cones. Did I mention today was pretty warm and very muggy? Well, it was. The ice cream was devoured in short order and we headed BACK to Brooklyn to our hotel, where we will be staying for a few days. Stay tuned for: Chicago to Los Angeles That adventure is the next in our queue. Bike tour info can be found here: https://2025-big-ride.mostexcellent.fun/
