Sam Slaton, Bike New York's Director of Communications, recently purchased a Surly Ogre, so naturally he looks for any excuse to go for an off-road excursion. For that, he heads to Staten Island (a.k.a. "Shaolin," according to several of its most famous natives), where there are plenty of trails to play around on. For the final entry in our series of staff ride suggestions, Slaton leads us to a park along the coast. Click here to see this route on Google Maps. Read what Sam had to say about it, below, and if you have a Staten Island ride to suggest, share it with us in the comments!
