Roxbury Endurance Ride
If you didn’t have time to go on the previous rides with Discover Roxbury, this is the one you want. Don’t think of this as a tour, it’s more of an adventure. On this ride we’ll bike to the top Roxbury’s highest peaks,
along some of its major roads, and past historic monuments. Stops will be limited to give us more riding time to cover as much of the neighborhood as possible.
Meet at Roxbury Crossing Station (1400 Columbus Ave). Limit 20 people. Helmets are required.
Purchase tickets ($10) at Brown Paper Tickets here.
