[*BCM*] This Saturday: Tour Somerville by bicycle

[Ron Newman]

The Somerville Bicycle Committee's Tour de Somerville will take place  
tomorrow - Saturday, October 16. We'll explore off-road paths in  
Somerville and neighboring towns, especially along Alewife Brook and  
the Mystic River.

We'll meet at 10 am at Seven Hills Park, behind the Holland Street  
MBTA entrance in Davis Square. The ride will leave promptly at 10:15.  
A map of the route is at http://tinyurl.com/TourSomerville2010 . A  
little more information is at http://SomervilleBikes.org/Events.html .

Somerville police will escort the ride, and Redbones will provide  
refreshments at a rest stop. Some of the paths we're exploring are  
unpaved dirt and may be challenging for bicycles with narrow tires.

Right now we think a rain postponement (to Sunday) is unlikely, but if  
it is necessary we'll announce it at http://SomervilleBikes.org/Events.html
