Then we will head east over 9th Street Bridge to Prospect Park, loop around park, go past the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and return to the Manhattan Bridge.  Those returning to Manhattan will ride back across the Manhattan Bridge to Glick Park Con Ed pier again.

We intend to make stops at several locations along the route to discuss notable parks and landmarks including several photo ops. The ride will proceed at an easy-going pace of 10 - 13 MPH.
