Why are we leading these short evening rides?
– To show that there are low(er) stress routes around the neighborhood and “you CAN get there from here” by bike
– To get to know some neighbors who like to ride
– To learn little about safe and effective cycling and group riding

===== Specifics about this ride =====
We take a low(er) stress 9-ish mile route from the Square to Franklin Park, where we’ll first ride along Scarboro Pond and the golf course. We’ll stop at the abandoned bear dens, as well as two other ruins that have been preserved: the Overlook and Schoolmaster Hill. We’ll return via the Arborway cycle track, the Blackwell Footpath and traffic-calmed South Street back to Adams Park.
As usual, despite the bike infrastructure we’ll be using, there is some traffic, so you should be comfortable on streets.
Afterward, perhaps some beer or ice cream in the Square, if anyone is interested.
As you arrive in the park, if there are people there, please slow down or dismount – let’s not disturb others who are using the park.
And here’s the approximate route:
