TNR Gets Loopy

Join us on Wednesday Sept 17 to for the penultimate 2025 TNR weeknight ride, an 18 mile loopy journey through Winchester, Woburn and Medford. This route totals about 600 ft of climb with a few small climbs. Sprint along the Mystic Lakes or enjoy the scene. Your choice. For the most part, there won't be a lot of sprinting opportunities, but ride as you will.

We start near the Alewife Craft Food Hall/Alewife Garage (across the street and to the left as you look out from the garage near the intersection). We'll keep a pace of about 14 mph on the average.

This is intended to be a no-drop ride, but you should be in good riding condition with a road bike. We will wait before we turn and at intersections so that everyone can ride at a comfortable pace.

The departure time will be 5:30 SHARP so that we can return right around sunset. You're strongly encouraged to bring lights. Make sure that your bike is in good working order before you leave home. Helmets required. You are responsible for your own safety.

Registration closes at midnight on Tuesday before the ride. If there are fewer than 4 riders, I will cancel. If you sign-up, show up. The ride is capped at 10 participants.

I will offer a brief safety talk before we depart promptly at 5:30. If rain is in the forecast, I will cancel the ride by 4 pm.

If anyone is traveling by car, there is paid parking in the Alewife Garage and some free parking in the lot at the Summer Shack kitty corner from the start. You may also find a spot at Thompson Field in Arlington along the Minuteman path.
