Announcing the 14th Annual Tour de Somerville: "Streets, Rails, and Trails"

When: Saturday, October 14, 10 am

Where: Starts at Seven Hills Park, behind the Somerville Theatre in Davis Square

Who: Sponsored by the Somerville Bicycle Committee, Friends of the Community Path, and the Mass. Central Rail Trail Coalition.

What: A family-friendly, 8-mile bicycle ride. 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.

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