Green-Wood Historic Cemetery Ride
The neo-Gothic graveyard itself is notable in its own right as the resting place of countless celebrated New Yorker, but it may be better known as one of the city's most beautiful natural spaces. This day-long ride, organized by the Five Borough Bicycle Club, is a rare opportunity to enjoy the 500-plus beautiful, wooded acres of what is usually a bike-free zone.
