Here are some opportunities for some groups rides to/from festivals this weekend:
Saturday 9/13
Me, in my role as a member of Somerville Bicycle Advisory Committee, am organizing rides to and from Fall Festival, Gilman Square Arts & Music Festival and Riverfest.
Full schedule Pick and choose which rides are helpful to your day's itinerary. Some street riding, some hills. Not suitable for emerging riders.
Sunday 9/14
Family Bike Ride casual ad hoc ride to Belmont Town Day. 9:15AM meet at 7 Hills Park, Davis Square Somerville, depart 9:30. ~3.1 miles This is a FUN festival, they have rides! (amongst other things) Rides cost money, I don't remember how much. My then 4 and 9 year olds both found rides they enjoyed last time we went. Bike ride is fairly conservative ride with nice infrastructure-we did a similar version for the Halloween 2023 event.
None of these rides are orchestrated in great detail with crossing guards like the main spring-summer-halloween Family Bike Rides.
Have a great weekend!
