This is the ride to be seen on--no matter if you ride a $25 Huffy or a $5,000 carbon lightweight. It's also an excellent short course to hone your criterium skills.
This 2.8-miler circles the wealthy Myers Park neighborhood near Queens College. Start at the parking lot on the corner Queens Road and Pembroke Avenue. Ride clockwise and link Queens Road, Selwyn Avenue, Queens West, Hopedale Avenue, Pembroke, and return to the starting point on Queens. It’s a quick course, and worth riding again and again.
