Boston By Bike…At Night This Weekend

Written by Boston Biker on Aug 05

From the email:

This year’s ride will be 8/17 – 8/18, 2019.

It’s very helpful whe we have a few more HAM radio operators to run
commuications with communication.  If you are a HAM or know one who is
interested in the ride, please let me know.  We’re always happy to have
more helpers.  We also have spare radios this year, so if you’re
licensed, but don’t have a radio, please don’t let that stop you from
volunteering.

I have some help coordinating radio operators this year, so if you’re
interested, please reply to [email protected].

Please note that there is (intentionally) no Midnight Ride email list.
I’ll try to be helpful about letting people know what I know, but make
no promises.

Boston by bike… at night.
Saturday, August 12, 2017, Midnight ’til dawn
Twenty ninth annual tour of architectural and historic sites.

  • Meet at 11:15 pm in front of Trinity Church in Copley Square
  • Bring a bicycle with a light and wear something reflective.  Helmet recommended

Covers around 30 miles in 7-8 hours, so there are lots of stops. Sometimes the ride goes places you are not normally allowed to ride, though I don’t know what is planned for this year.
