What a great way to experience New York City.  Forty miles of car-free streets through all five boros with 32,000 of your closest friends.  And the weather could not have been better – about 75 degrees and sunny.

Would I do it again? Maybe. But probably not on consecutive years unless a handful new folks wanted to join in on the fun. I’d definitely consider doing a similar tour in another major city.  Montreal, anyone?

Finished off the trip with an early morning run through Central Park followed by some sightseeing in Manhattan and a tour of the 9/11 Memorial Museum. All in all, a great weekend and well worth the effort.
