Saddle Up For 61 Local's Weekend Red Hook Ride

A local bike tour takes neighbors from Boerum Hill to the waterfront to visit with small businesses.

What: Free guided tour open to the public, with a special $15 tour and tasting package at Cacao Prieto and Red Hook Winery 

How:  has got rides to Red Hook slated for the rest of the season. Join us the first Saturday of every month as we traverse through Red Hook for an inside look into the process and production of some of Brooklyn’s finest crafts people. Each tour will include two stops, with ample time  to sample the goods at each location and buy some tasty treats to take take home. Bring your own bike, or rent one from nearby establishments, like Bike Smith or Ride Brooklyn. 

When: Our next ride will be on August 4th. Meet up at 61 Local at 11am to check in and grab a quick cup ‘o joe and some breakfast before we head over to our first stop, Cacao Prieto. You will get a tour and tasting of their chocolate wonders, then we’ll pedal over to Red Hook Winery for their barrel tasting and tour of local wines. We even sprinkle in some pauses so you can take in the waterfront views and history that make this area of Brooklyn so special. We will round out our day of two wheel transit back at 61 Local for lunch, beers, and good conversation sparked by a day of exploration.

What to bring: A bike, helmet (NO EXCEPTIONS), backpack to transport home any goodies you purchase along the way, water, sunglasses, and some cold hard cash for breakfast, products from our visits, lunch at 61 Local, and tips for your hard working cycling guides.
