Description from Strava:

For the final stop of our trip we are in New York for a few days. I was here for a couple of days many years ago, so only got a taste then and a lot has changed.

I will do more Hive posts about what we have been up to, but this one is mostly about the cycle tour we did in Central Park.

We did the tour with Unlimited Biking via the Go City Pass that gets you a discount. Their shop near the park was very busy. We wanted a morning tour, but had to come back at 4pm. We spent the day checking out sights such as Grand Central station and Rockefeller Plaza before spending time in the Museum of Modern Art.

We had to ride a little on the road, but there are lots of cycle lanes. In the park you can ride on the main roads amongst walkers, runners, bikes, scooters and horse drawn carriages. It was really busy.

We stopped in various places to explore. There are so many iconic film locations.

It was fun ride and not too taxing. The hills are not that big. We rode around most of the park, but did not see everything.

The last stop was Strawberry Fields near where John Lennon lived and was murdered over 40 years ago. We have been to the original once in Liverpool too. There were some musicians there playing Beatles songs.

I did not spot any celebrities, but the guide said he saw Crispin Glover near where we started.

We did a lot of walking today as well, so are worn out. We did have a great dinner though.

Ride free!
