Biking Events

Event #1, Old Manse/Robbins House, Concord
Ride For The Rivers
Saturday, August 5, 9:15 am
Join Nashoba Valley Pedaler leaders, Mike Duclos and Allan Fierce, for a ~30-mile ride, (expect 3+ hours, including a stop for ice cream at Erickson’s in Maynard!) on roads crisscrossing the Sudbury, Assabet and Concord Rivers. This is a ‘no drop’ ride, meaning there are designated lead rider and sweep riders, other riders will be between them, and we will stop periodically to regroup. The route may change, but for those curious, it should be close to this: https://ridewithgps.com/routes.
Helmets required. Ride departs promptly at 9:30 from the Robbins House parking lot on Monument St. A forecast of steady rain will move the ride to Sunday. Call before 8am Saturday if in doubt.
Email or call 978-793-3189 for more information. Pre-registration via email is appreciated but not required.
Location: Old Manse/Robbins House, Concord
