  Due to the huge demand for their 30,000+ spots, the TD Five Boro Bike Tour is holding a lottery for registration this year.  The lottery is on from now until February 7. 
  
  Held annually the first Sunday in May, the TD Five Boro Bike Tour is America’s largest cycling event. The event provides participants the unique and fun experience to bike through all five boroughs – a 40 mile, traffic-free ride for 32,000 cyclists.  Starting just north of Battery Park, the tour runs up Manhattan, through Central Park, around a brief loop in the Bronx and down to the Queensboro Bridge passing countless New York City icons on the way.  After a ride over the Pulaski bridge passing through Brooklyn, riders enjoy an incredible view from the lower deck of the Verrazano Bridge to Staten Island.

• 5BBC Montauk Century - Not an RBC event

  • When
    Sun, May 20, 2012
  •  
    6:00 AM
  • Location
    Penn Station, New York

  This is the granddaddy of the rides to Montauk.  There are 65 and 100 mile options, or the big challenge of a 145 mile ride from Penn Station to Montauk.  The flat Long Island terrain and the extreme likelihood of tail winds make this the easiest 145 miles you will ever ride.  Who wouldn't ride the extra five miles to make it a nice, round 150?
  
  There are well-stocked rest areas about every 25 miles along the way, and showers and a meal at the end.  The organizers transport a bag for you so you can shower and change at the end.  Then you can choose to put your bike on a truck while you ride the train back to the start. 
  
  This event is sponsored by the Five Boro Bicycle Club.  You can see more information at their web site: www.5bbc.org.
  
  This is not an RBC event.
