Take a looping path around the perimeter and
into the interior of Staten Island. Cruise past some highlights
of the borough including the Lighthouse, a Frank Lloyd Wright
House, the beach, Ft Wadsworth and more. Also, check your medal
potential on the proposed road race route for the NYC 2012
Olympic bid. Several of the island’s interior hills are included
on this ride and the Olympic route has some very steep segments.
A shortcut is possible on this route which cuts out 20 miles
and avoids going far south to Tottenville and the Conference
House. Olympic route starts and ends at the ferry. Tip: pick-up
a free Staten Island bus map for reference before departing
the ferry terminal. This ride is best on an early Sunday morning
when traffic is lightest.
