Five Boro Bike Tour

Register for the TD Five Boro Bike tour. Join Bike New York as they bike through every borough of New York City on a 40-mile route that is completely free of traffic. For one day only, the roads and bridges are all yours to explore and enjoy to the fullest! Don’t miss out on one of the best bike events of the year – the TD Five Boro Bike Tour. It sells out quickly, so make sure to secure a spot by registering for the event.

I did this ride for years and loved it. Even worked it as a marshal once or twice, but health and age have slowed me down and I haven’t been on a bike in 2 years. Whew. I’d really like to do the 5 Boro Bike Tour but don’t know if I can get in shape, go from zero to 60, by May 5.

I will, however, ride the Tour de Bronx Sunday, October 22, 2024. See you soon. Happy trails.

As the pandemic disrupts global food supply chains, people may have to depend more on locally grown food. Experts expect the number of people suffering through severe food shortages could swell to 265 million people in 2020.
Bissel Gardeners are glad they have been community gardening and raising food for themselves for more than 25 years. We hope when the NYC Pause In Place is lifted more folks will see the need for community gardens and will join us! Chuck the Gardener

GARDEN TIP - When plants are about two feet tall, prune out the foliage from the bottom 12" of larger pepper varieties like bell, cubanelle, and poblano peppers. For smaller varieties such as jalapeno, shishito, and Thai peppers, remove foliage from the lower 6-8" of stems.Aug 11, 2022

Cream-style soups are a favorite for warm, soothing meals on cold winter nights. The addition of a cup or two of cooked beans can stretch canned or homemade soup into a complete, protein-rich meal in just minutes. Stir a can of drained rinsed white beans into tomato soup. Or try pinto beans added to cream of celery soup.
