| Manhattan does not end at 96th Street! Using a number of bike routes, the ride will show you the wonders of highland Manhattan in Manhattanville, Hamilton Heights, Washington Heights, and Inwood. We will visit the Morris Jumel Mansion and the High Bridge, New York City's oldest standing bridge; take in the pleasures of the Hudson and Harlem Rivers; and view the natural splendors of Highbridge and Inwood Hill Parks plus much more including hidden coves and unknown byways. The ride will end at La Marina, a waterfront cafe that offers food, drink, and music with a spectacular view of the Hudson River, Palisades and George Washington Bridge. Ride home on the West Side Greenway or the A train. This is a ride not to miss! This ride is the first of a series that will acquaint you with the recreational, historic, natural, and cultural resources of Manhattan's highlands. Each ride will attempt to highlight environmental, land use, development and preservation issues referencing particular localities. Every ride will present a different itinerary in order to explore different sites. |
