We had a big crew ride out to Sherborn on a sunny Sunday afternoon. We loaded up on McIntosh apples and were a bit heavier on the way back. The Dairy Queen in Natick gave us the energy to pull those apples home. There were riders on road bikes, hybrids, fixed gears, and even a family of four with kids in a trailer! Check out the pictures in the “Pictures” section, and I posted a link to the route in the “Maps and routes section”. Stay tuned for our fall foliage ride in October.

The Green Streets Initiative is best known for the creation of monthly Walk/Ride Days. Walk/Ride Days occur on the last Friday of every month. On these days people everywhere are invited to go, and wear green!
Our vision is to create a monthly city-wide party, which celebrates alternative transportation, gives people an opportunity to make community connections, and promotes a festive local atmosphere.
