Starting in Newtonville, we’ll ride along the Charles River to Harvard Square in Cambridge, then head up Concord Ave. to Fresh Pond.  We’ll partially circle the pond and head back towards Watertown on the  Watertown-Cambridge Greenway.  Before arriving at Watertown Square, riders will have the option of stopping for lunch at Joyful Garden in the Watertown Mall for some of the best dim sum available outside of Chinatown.   Whether you want to stop at Joyful Garden or go directly back to Newtonville, ride leaders will be available in both cases.

Meet in front of the Star Market on Austin St, in Newtonville, and we’ll leave  at 11:00am. This is a family-friendly, “no-rider-left-behind” ride and all ages are invited, but all young children must be accompanied by an adult. Bike helmets are required. 16 miles roundtrip.  Be sure to check bikenewton.org for any last-minute changes.
