Apologize for misinformation. My wife dropped me off on Victory Blvd in Staten Island, then took the ferry with many people to Manhattan. Long queue, but everybody is talking to everybody. Cool part was the ferry was full of happy excited cyclists. Also we went past the Statue of Liberty. After the ferry lots of volunteers shepherding the cyclists to the start line from the ferry.
The whole process is crazy, but fun crazy.
