I'd love to have as many of you as possible join us. We're meeting outside Somerville City Hall at 2 pm this Sunday for a casual ramble around the city, visiting various places of industrial importance to Somerville, past and present.
The ride will be about 10 miles long, and will finish up around 4:30 pm at the Somerville Museum (where some of the Somerville Open Studios Artists' Choice exhibit will still be on display).
Some earlier publicity said that we would be visiting the interior of soon-to-open Brooklyn Boulders rock-climbing gym on Tyler Street, but right now it looks like that probably won't be possible due to the current condition of their construction. Instead, folks can optionally tour Artisan's Asylum next door.
Somerville police will help escort the ride, which will be dedicated to the late officer Sean Collier.
Our ride is sponsored by the Somerville Historic Preservation Commission and the Somerville Bicycle Committee. We ask for a $3 donation to support the Historic Preservation Commission.
Here's a Google map of our route, showing some of the places we will ride by.
(Usually I'd publicize this kind of event weeks in advance. I've been a bit occupied with other matters lately....)
