We’re a bit tapped out from the ROCK, Roll, and Ride planning, so Sunday’s ride to Blue Hills is postponed. It’s supposed to be a nice day so do get out and ride. If you need a recommendation on how to get down to the Blue Hills, where to ride, and what to do, send us an email (Contact Us link above).
Also, our Deer Island ride is being merged with the MassBike and Rozzie Bikes ride so is now on Saturday the 25th. See the link in our calendar to the right on this page.

JP Bikes will join MassBike and Rozzie Bikes for a ride through East Boston to Deer Island and back. Sure to be new territory for most of us with lots of exploring. Rozzie Bikes will be coming up the SW corridor path around 9:15 and we’ll meet them in front of the Green St T station and ride with them to Charlestown. Details below or go to massbike.org.

We’ll bike from Paul Revere Landing Park in Charlestown through East Boston on the East Boston Greenway to Deer Island and back, stop for lunch at Constitution Beach, and explore a few little side paths on the way back to Charlestown. Last year we found four.
Cyclists can join the ride at the East Boston blue caboose around 10:30-10:45.
Perhaps not unexpected given the weather in June, but our trip to Cape Ann was misty. But that’s OK since it’s still a very nice ride in the mist. Like Scotland I suppose (I’ve never been). And it never really rained so we were comfortable riding. Jeffrey Ferris even jumped in the ocean. We had five take the train to Rockport and then ride down to the beach in Manchester, and we had five riders ride to Manchester from Boston. The bike train was great, although we were all stumped on the correct usage of the Thule bike racks screwed to the ends of the bike car. All in all a great day, maybe we’ll do it again on a nice sunny day! Let us know if you want to go and I’m sure some will join you.

The train home wasn’t a bike train, but there’s always a car with a bunch of space on one end for bikes, so we piled them up.
