Rides! prep for the Bike-A-Thon
Get in shape for BNB’s Bike-A-Thon on June 8th! All are welcome, come out for a fun ride. Both routes start at the same place and time but then go their separate ways.
MEET at the BNB HUB
284 Amory St. Jamaica Plain - in the Brewery Complex by Ula Cafe. 10 AM. We’ll be the crowd out in front with the bikes. Bring your own snacks, water, and helmet (required). Join these joyrides free of charge, but we’ll pass the hat. Urban riding skills required for “Long Ride”.
LONG RIDE
As the weeks roll on, these rides will build up the miles progressively - with eyes trained on the 62-mile route! Pace will be moderate and will adjust to the riders. On April 5th We've planned a 34.5-mile ride over the hills, through the woods, and along the shore. Forecast is not too chilly (high of 48) with a 40% chance of small showers. Route map and cue sheet available here: http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Apr-5-proposed-training-route. I'll have paper copies on Saturday. See you there! Contact Esther at ecervantes(a)abml.org or 617-983-3665 for more information on routes or to get in on the email group.
FAMILY RIDE
We'll take an easy pace to make it nice and fun for all involved. Trailers and trail-a-bikes are certainly welcome, as are young and/or inexperienced riders. Short miles, good company! Over the next months miles will increase towards the goal of 15 miles, which is the length of the Bike-A-Thon's shortest ride and the one which draws the most families. On April 5th we'll ride six miles along the South West Corridor Bike Path to Copley for coffee and a playground (perhaps riding on further to the Charles River Path). Please join us! Contact David at dweinstein(a)boston.k12.ma.us for more information.
