You will navigate through neighborhood streets, relying primarily on Snyder Avenue, East 31st Street, and Church Avenue to reach your destination. Because the path is entirely urban, there are no long, uninterrupted stretches of road to settle into. Instead, you should prepare for constant maneuvering and stop-and-go conditions typical of a densely populated city environment. Staying alert is essential, as the road personality remains strictly local and technical from start to finish.

Brooklyn, the "Borough of Homes and Churches," is one of the five boroughs of New York City. It used to be a separate city, and still feels much like one. It has about 2.5 million inhabitants. If separated from the rest of New York City, Brooklyn would be the 4th most populous American city. Brooklyn is on the westernmost point of Long Island and shares a land boundary with Queens, which partially encircles Brooklyn to the north, east and south; Manhattan lies across the East River to the west and north of Brooklyn, and Staten Island is across the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge to the southwest. Brooklyn is enjoying a period of growth and affluence not seen since before World War II. The Brooklyn Academy of Music boasts world-class theater performances, and the nearby Barclays Center is the home of the NBA's Brooklyn Nets.
