Description: Ready to shake off the workday? Trade your desk chair for a bike seat and join us for a breezy 20-mile sunset cruise ! We’re kicking off the season with a scenic loop starting in Charlestown , winding along the Charles River all the way to Watertown , and back again. It’s the perfect way to soak in those river views and celebrate the return of cycling weather. 🚲 The Vibe 100% Car-Free: We’re sticking entirely to bike paths. Chill & Social: This is a "no-drop" group ride. Because of the various intersections, we’ll be keeping a relaxed, steady pace to make sure we all stick together. Post-Ride Perks: Once we roll back into Charlestown, the fun continues! Stick around for refreshments and some well-earned post-ride hangouts. C ⏰ The Schedule 5:00 PM: Meet up for introductions, a quick route briefing, and any last-minute bike tweaks. 5:15 PM: We roll! We’re leaving promptly to make sure we’re back before the sun goes down. Note: We’ll send the exact starting location to everyone who registers! o 🎒 What to Bring To keep the good times rolling and everyone safe, please come prepared: The Essentials: Helmets are mandatory . The Gear: Bring a bike in good working order. Flat tires are party poopers—please bring a spare inner tube just in case! Navigation: The route will be sent to all participants. Please download the route on your navigation device. The Comfort: It can get chilly by the water! Wear warm layers and don’t forget your gloves . The Extras: Front and rear lights are highly recommended for visibility, and bring a bike lock if you’re joining us for the post-ride festivities in Charlestown. Let’s ride! 🚴‍♂️✨

The ride will be ~30 miles via a mix of roads and a good portion on the Paulinskill Valley and Sussex Branch Rail Trails. Rail trail surface is packed stone/gravel/grass. So please bring a bike that is suitable for mixed surfaces. Being a rail trail, the surface will not be tecnical. Expecting to have two rest stops along the way, TBD.
This is a point to point one way ride. We will organize carpool shuttles among participants about two weeks prior to the ride, meeting at the finish at Waterloo Village around 10 am and carpooling in fewer cars to the start.
