Cyclists will start their journey at registration early Saturday morning from 7–8:30 am outside the Whitney Museum (99 Gansevoort Street, Manhattan) before heading north to the Edward Hopper House Museum & Study Center (82 North Broadway, Nyack).
Edward Hopper House is where Hopper was born and grew up in Nyack before moving to New York City. The Edward Hopper House will offer snacks, Hopper birthday activities, and tours of the artist’s home, including a look at his 1897 bicycle. At the end of the visit, riders will head back to the Whitney Museum which is located near the neighborhood where Hopper lived and worked for much of his life.
