Written by Boston Biker on Dec 02Seriously how could you go wrong, there is going to be an open house at Taza chocolates…makers of fantastically delicious chocolates. Even if you don’t go on this ride you should check out this event.

RozzieBikes will be riding to the Taza Chocolate Open House in Somerville on Saturday, December 5, 2009. Check out their web site at http://www.tazachocolate.com/ for information about them.
The open house starts at 10 am, so we’ll leave Adams Park in Roslindale Square at 9:15 am and ride up the Emerald Necklace, stopping at the Jamaica Pond Boathouse for a few minutes between 9:30 and 9:40 before heading on to Somerville. We’ll use a lot of bike paths and bike lanes in Boston, Brookline, and Cambridge and try to head home before noon. The weather is supposed to be nice, but we’ll cancel if it is raining hard and maybe if it is snowing hard… Helmets are required, as usual. The round trip should be under 20 miles. Dress warmly, but not quite as heavily as you think you should; on a ride this long, you’ll generate quite a bit of heat. Wear warm gloves, though.
