TD Bank Five Boro Bike Tour


The next TD Bank Five Boro Bike Tour will take place on Sunday, May 2, 2010. Registration is open now. The 2009 Tour sold out nearly two months in advance, so you have to register quickly in order to get a spot. Check out what you have to look forward to in the 2009 photo gallery, the first-ever online photo contest, and the video above (or here for a larger view).

Taking place the first Sunday in May each year, the adventure starts in Lower Manhattan. The ride heads north through the heart of Manhattan to Central Park and continues on to historic Harlem and the Bronx, returning south along the East River on the FDR Drive. From there it crosses into Queens and then Brooklyn, where cyclists take over the highway before making the thrilling climb up--and down--the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge to Staten Island. The route is 42 miles, mostly flat except for the bridges. Snap a few pictures (when not riding) so you can enter the photo contest.

The ride lands on Staten Island at a fun outdoor Festival, including bike demos, a mountain bike stunt show, giveaways, games, a wonderful food concession, product samples, stretching, massage, a photo booth, and official merchandise on sale. Leave plenty of time to check out the exhibitors and activities and then visit the Fort Wadsworth Overlook for a scenic photo before continuing the final three miles to the ferry.
