Flowers are blooming, so what better time for a bicycle ride to the Arnold Arboretum in Jamaica Plain through Newton, Brookline and West Roxbury.  Return trip via Jamaica Pond and some of the Jamaicaway bike path.  We will stop for lunch in JP Center, or bring a picnic lunch,  Meet in front of the Newton Main library on Homer St. in Newton Center, and we’ll leave promptly at 10:00 am. This is a family-friendly, “no-rider-left-behind” ride and all ages are invited, but all children must be accompanied by an adult. Bike helmets are required. 14.5 miles roundtrip. Be sure to check bikenewton.org for last-minute changes.
