Tour de Somerville - a bike ride October 13, 2007

On Saturday, October 13, the Somerville Bicycle Committee and the Friends of the Community Path will lead the 15th Annual Tour de Somerville.

This year's ride will explore the flat side of Somerville, avoiding all of the city's hills. We'll ride along the Community Path and its future extension, then take a level, low-traffic route through East Somerville to the Mystic River at Assembly Square. From there, we'll ride alongside the river into a bit of South Medford, then return through West Somerville back to our starting point.

The Tour begins at 10 am at Seven Hills Park, behind the Somerville Theatre in Davis Square. Our nine-mile ride will be leisurely-paced, easy for cyclists of all ages. We strongly encourage all riders to wear helmets.

In case of rain, we'll postpone the ride to Sunday, October 14, same starting time and location.
