Subject: NYC Five Borough Bike Ride

Dear Ziners, Has anyone done the NYC Bike ride (May 2nd)? I know it sounds stupid, but I get the impression it would be fairly flat (Brooklyn Heights aren't actually mountains, right? ;-)) And furthermore.....any recommendations for B&B's / hotels that could store a bike overnight - I'll be hiring one in NY - unless anyone has any other ideas. .....anyone else going on the ride? Cheers now, Stewart, London UK
