- (1) First regroup at the end of Emmons Ave
- (2) Rest stop at Plumb beach (we might have to skip it, as at this time of
year there might be no port-o-toilet, but there is a water fountain) - good
sight seen point for the Sheepshead Bay inlet, Kings borough campus and
Rockaways
- (3) Crossing of Flatbush Ave at traffic light - regroup
- (4) Mill Basin Draw bridge - quite a tricky crossing, especially for new
comers

on the pavement of bike path...could be slippery
- (6) Canarsie Pier - water and bathroom stop
- (7-8) Continuing along Belt Parkway
- (9 - 10) Getting off Belt Park way and on to Cross Bay Blvd (no bike lane!);
there are chances for deli stops, if required

bridge

regroup
- (21) Bike Path to the Traffic light at Exit 11 - regroup and cross over
Flatbush Ave; If required we can make bathroom/water stop at "Aviators"

- (24) We can stop at Randazzo (the only original place on entire Sheepshead
Bay) for beer, raw fish and what's not or any other place for food!
There are Turkish,Russian and Ukrainian stile places but they are pricey...
There is an El Greco diner that has a good cuisine and can accommodate large
amount of people at any time or we can go to a very good sushi place called
Mitoushi Sushi on Sheepshead Bay Road.
*** Please bring your shoes, as they may not allow people on skates...

We should be back on Sheepshead Bay in +/-4 hours.



Helmet and Wrist Guards are required.

See you at the skate!
