Boston to New York Bike Tour Announced by Great Freedom Adventures
Sherborn, MA (PRWEB) April 29, 2014 -- Bike tour operator, Great Freedom Adventures, announces "Four States and Five Boroughs," an exciting six-day, 290 mile cycling adventure from Boston to New York, timed to arrive in New York City in time to join 32,000 cyclists from around the world for the famed Five Boro Bike Tour. New York’s Five Boro Bike Tour, occurring annually on the first Sunday of May, is America’s largest cycling event and to get to it, Great Freedom Adventurers will depart Boston and pedal 250 miles through four states over four days.
The 40-mile Five Boro Bike Tour is a rolling festival through all five boroughs of New York City on traffic-free streets. Riders bike through Central Park, past skyscrapers, by urban neighborhoods, and over five bridges, including the spectacular Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. The tour finishes with a festival on Staten Island in New York Harbor.
Along the way from Boston to New York, riders will experience iconic urban scenes, livable suburban towns and picturesque rural landscapes. Stops are made at notable sites including Mystic Seaport, a living history museum in Mystic, CT, which depicts 19th century coastal New England life.
Another stop is the newly named “National Treasure” in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, Queens, NY. The National Trust for Historic Preservation recently awarded this distinction to the park’s New York State Pavilion, the former site of two World’s Fairs.
