Description: Join us for an adventurous 16 mile midday loop on a mix of safe streets and protected bike paths. There are no climbs on this route and we will travel at a 11-13 mph speed. Please note there will be short stretches of packed gravel surfaces along the Alewife Brook that can still be safely ridden on skinny tires.
The ride will start at Paul Revere Park near City Square in Charlestown, first heading to Medford Square via Assembly. Continuing along the Mystic River, we will link up with the Alewife Brook paths toward Fresh Pond before cutting through Danehy Park and over to Harvard Square. Then it’s straight back to Charlestown on the Cambridge side of the Charles River.
Please arrive at 11am to meet the other riders, hear the safety talk, adjust your bike, etc. We will leave promptly at 11:15.On street parking at City Square Charlestown is difficult. The best choices are Warren Street, Main Street, and Harvard Street. Paid parking is available at Constitution Wharf, Charlestown.
The Gear: Bring a bike in good working order. Flat tires are party poopers—please bring a spare inner tube just in case! Navigation: . Please download the route on your navigation device. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/54833424
