Explore Somerville's Outer Limits by Bike - Saturday, October 18

Join the Somerville Bicycle Committee for the 16th Annual Tour de Somerville on Saturday, October 18th. We'll meet at 10 am at Seven Hills Park, behind the Holland Street T entrance in Davis Square. From there, we'll trace the entire boundary of our city, from leafy Alewife Brook and Tufts University to gritty Assembly Square, Inner Belt, and Boynton Yards. Occasionally, we'll cross over into neighboring Cambridge, Arlington, Medford, and Charlestown, to see what the city limits look like from the other side.

The ride will be about 15 miles long, with a rest stop at the Somerville Boys and Girls Club's Blessing of the Bay boathouse on the Mystic River. Redbones will provide refreshments at this stop.

A route map and cue sheet are posted at http://SomervilleBikes.org . In case of rain, we'll postpone the ride to Sunday, October 19, same time and location (and we'll announce that on the web site).

For more information, contact Ron Newman, rnewman@thecia.net , 617-628-8895.

Get your Craft on

Hey all, so, i have a big tub of awesome wool yarn that I don't need/won't use. It's free to first person who wants it. The catch is that this yarn had been stored in moth balls, and does smell like moth balls. It is easy, but time consuming, to remedy this, you need to soak it for 15-20 minutes in warm water with wool wash of some sort, 3-4 times, then let it dry. I did this with the first round, and decided I don't have the time or patience to do this with yarn i won't use. If anyone wants it, it's yours. I live outside Davis, off the bike path towards Mass Ave. I can leave it on my porch, or be around at a certain time, or drop off somewhere in Davis to the person how wants it.

Anyone know of any classes in the area? Id prefer not to travel too far but Arlington and Cambridge would be ok. Thanks :)
