Biking to Bear Mountain with the New York Cycle Club

Biking to Bear Mountain with the New York Cycle Club

Today I spent the morning and most of the afternoon biking up to Bear Mountain with the New York Cycle Club. The ride was about 65 miles overal, and we started out in Central Park, NYC. I rode my Cannondale Super Six road bike, which I love more and more each time I ride. With the addition of a small “bento box” to my top tube, I was able to conveniently store and access my camera, allowing me to shoot relatively safely and conveniently while riding. A few pics and video clips from the ride…
