This Saturday: Edge of the City Bike Tour
Oct. 10th, 2012 03:05 amThis Saturday, I'll be leading the 20th annual Tour de Somerville for the Somerville Bicycle Committee.
This year's theme is Edge of the City. We'll ride as close as possible to the Somerville city limits, in a 15-mile counter-clockwise loop. Our tour will visit the industrial grit of Boynton Yards, Brickbottom, and Inner Belt; the emerging development of Assembly Row; the leafy campus of Tufts University; and the parklands of the Mystic River and Alewife Brook. If you look closely, you may even see some of Somerville's old boundary stones.
Meet this Saturday, October 13, at 10 am, at Seven Hills Park (behind the Holland Street MBTA entrance in Davis Square). We will depart promptly at 10:15. (In the unlikely event of steady rain, we'll postpone to Sunday, same time and location.)
