[*BCM*] Tour Somerville by Bicycle - this Saturday, October 14

[rnewman at thecia.net]

A reminder: the 14th annual Tour de Somerville bike ride will be this
Saturday, October 14, meeting at 10 am at Seven Hills Park, behind the
Somerville Theatre in Davis Square. 

Our theme this year is "Streets, Rails, and Trails". We'll start by
exploring the back
streets of Somerville's mostly-flat Ward Two. Then we'll ride alongside
future extensions of both the Somerville Community Path and the MBTA Green
Line, looking at railroad  rights-of-way from a variety of viewpoints.
Finally, we'll return to Davis Square on the
existing paved Community Path.

The ride is about 8 miles long, with only one significant hill.  There is a
short optional off-road section for adventurous riders with hybrid or
mountain bikes.

If it rains, we'll postpone the ride to Sunday, October 15, same
starting time and location.

For more information, call 617-628-8895. Email: sbc at ci.somerville.ma.us.  

The ride is sponsored by the Somerville Bicycle Committee, Friends of the
Community Path, and the Mass. Central Rail Trail Coalition.
