===== Specifics about this ride =====
At 13 miles, this ride is a bit longer than many of these reides, though it’s pretty flat. We follow the Emerald Necklace as far as the newly restored Carlton St. Footbridge, which connects the Muddy River path to Brookline’s Cottage Farm district. We’ll take a nifty route to the BU Bridge, ride briefly along the Charles, and return via the Harvard (Mass Ave.) bridge and Southwest Corridor.
Afterward, perhaps some drink or food in the Square, if anyone is interested.
Here’s the approximate route:
