Central Park Moonlight Ride

9:33 PM EDT on June 29, 2007

This is a fun, relaxing auto-free ride through Central Park. Enjoy the tranquillity of the park & its beautiful ponds & waterways: a nature lover's dream. Totally safe. Bike guides front & rear.

The ride moves at a very leisurely pace with a few stops to enjoy the scenery. We usually finish before midnight, back at Columbus Circle. Total mileage is under 10 miles. Time's Up! does not require lights (although if you have them you should bring them), and any kind of bike will work.
