Over 25 Gotham members came out Sunday August 30th to honor our fallen brother Jimmy "Mambo" Agapito. We had an epic day riding out of Columbus Circle, meeting up on the Palisades, stopping off at a Bear Mountain Bridge overlook, grabbing BBQ in Cold Spring, and finishing up in Peekskill.
Some of us were on the road for over 11 hours, so we have a ton of media from the event, but I've included some of the highlights below.

We started off in Columbus Circle facing Central Park, on 61st Street where in the Mambo days we used to begin every ride.
Then, we headed up to meet up with the rest of the crew up on Palisades Parkway in New Jersey north of NYC.

A bunch of the old crew showed up!

After that, we headed up North to Harriman State Park, cutting up to Bear Mountain, but as Perkins was closed, we headed to the waterfront underneath Bear Mountain Bridge.
We lost a few bikes to obligations and hangovers, but still made a fairly good showing.
Walter gave a talk about Mambo and his life too, in a touching tribute:
We then headed up 218, and across the bridge, doing some back roads that I love off of 301.
What an awesome day!
You’re the best Tigh. Thank you for your leadership and organizing!
