Earth Day Ride: April 26, 2008
Saturday, April 26, Earth Day Ride
10:00 am, Fowl Meadow parking lot on Brush Hill Road just south of the Neponset Valley Parkway, just east of Paul's Bridge and the Boston/Milton border.
This time we'll head the other way, taking Burma Road to the Bridge to Nowhere, then beautiful Elm St. in Canton, ending with views of the city from the Trustees of Reservations'
Signal Hill Reservation. It's not a very long ride, around 10 miles, but the first couple of miles are off-road through the Fowl Meadow section of the DCR's Blue Hills Reservation.
Hybrid or mountain bikes are recommended, though Burma Road has a hard enough surface that it has been ridden with skinny tires. Helmets are required. The ride is cosponsored by the Boston Natural Areas Network and the Neponset River Watershed Association. If it's muddy, we'll take Rt. 138. Click here for more details MassBike Spins - Boston

Bike The Charles: May 10, 2008
On Saturday, May 10, at 10:00 am, the Metro Boston Chapter of MassBike will hold its annual Charles River ride. Every year, we try to vary it a little, so this year, we'll start at Watertown Square and bike upstream as far as we can get into Newton along the river. It shouldn't take much over two hours, but some of the ride is on unpaved surfaces, so skinny tires will have to take a parallel route. Helmets are required. We ride rain or shine, but we'll ride less distance if it is raining very hard, and if there is a real downpour we'll reschedule, probably for mid-June. Click here for more details
