Ashmont Cycles, Upcomming Events
Written by Boston Biker on Apr 05Got this in the email from DotBike, kind of exciting that there will be a new bike shop in Dorchester!
——————————–
Ashmont Cycles is starting up a weekly group ride!
The first ride of the season will be Wednesday, April 6th, at 6:00pm. Meet in front of the shop (Peabody Square, next to the Ashmont Grill).
Everyone is welcome! The rides will head south into the Blue Hills. There is no obligation as to how far or how fast you have to ride. The goal is to encourage people to take advantage of the very good riding in this area, and to meet new people.
The days are getting longer, but riders are advised to ride with a light during these early spring evenings. Contact the shop if you have any questions. ([email protected] or 617-282-6552)
Grand Opening Coming Soon!!
Mark your calendar for Saturday, April 16, 9:00am – 5:00pm for the Grand Opening celebration. More details coming soon.
