From Central Park, head to Randall's Island and the Connector to the Bronx.  We then visit two great parks along the shores of the Bronx River - Concrete Plant Park and Starlight Park.  Built on the site of a former Worlds Fair and Amusement Park - Starlight Park has reopened after more than a decade and a stunning 18 Million Dollar overhaul.  Just a great new park in the Bronx.  After Starlight - we ride through the West Farms Area and then through Crotona Park.  

Lunch is at a favorite Bronx Restaurant - Landin Mac & Cheese in the Melrose Section.  If you are a mac n cheese afficianado - this place is not to be missed.  

Take - spare tubes, lock, money for lunch and a great attitude.  In case of questionable weather, check the web site and the Facebook page for delayed start or cancelation.
