Mellow Arlington-Carlisle Concord Ramble

Ride four different rail trails to justify getting ice cream at Great Brook State Park.

Tuesday will be a pleasant 75 degrees. Cycle 42 or 32 miles (with a Lexington start) to Billerica via the Narrow Gauge Rail Trail, and then the backroads of Carlisle to Great Brook. We will then bike west to the Bruce Freeman and go south to Concord. Then we go over Strawberry Hill to the Old North Bridge.

We will be going on two gravel and two paved rail trails.

Be ready to leave from the Uncle Sam statue in Arlington Center on the Minuteman Trail at 10:00 AM or meet us at the Minuteman Statue in Lexington at 10:30 AM.

Route is mostly flat with two hills. Pace will average a friendly 12-14 mph.

Start is accessible from Alewife T-station. If you miss us in Arlington catch up to us in Lexington.

If you are interested, you will need a working bike, a smile, spare inner tube, bike helmet, and BRIGHT clothes.
