Clouds loomed as seven veteran LAGCA riders prepared to embark on our second Summer Ride. Rain was hardly a problem and the ride went off without a hitch. Join the LAGCA on our final Summer Ride – “Beached in Brooklyn” on August 18th. Check back for a full album in our club photos section from tonight’s ride.

• By Train – Take any train to Union Square (4,5,6,Q,N,R,W,L etc.) and ride from there. Alternatively, you can take the L train to the 1st avenue stop.
• By Bike - Some safe streets in the area : Avenue C (with a bike lane), East 10th Street (with a bike lane), Avenue B, and 12th street, among others.

We will meet in the oval area of the park at 8.15 PM sharp. Please remember that a helmet (that fits you) and at least one red safety light are absolutely mandatory. Remember, three glow sticks counts as one light, but don’t start the reaction until the ride begins. Below I’ve included a more detailed picture of Tompkins Square Park so you know where to go once you are inside.
