18th Annual Tour de Somerville - Saturday 10/16

[Ron Newman]

The Somerville Bicycle Committee will hold the 18th annual Tour de
Somerville on Saturday, October 16. This year's theme is "Paths,
Present and Future: A Mystic River Ramble".

This bike tour will explore current and proposed off-road paths in and
near Somerville, especially those along Alewife Brook and the Mystic
River.

Meet at 10 am at Seven Hills Park, behind the Holland Street MBTA
entrance in Davis Square. We will depart promptly at 10:15.

The Somerville Police Department will help escort the ride, and
Redbones will provide refreshments at a rest stop.

In case of steady rain, we'll try again on Sunday, October 17, same
starting time and location.

(Note: Some of the off-road route is unpaved and may be difficult for
bikes with very narrow tires.)
