EVERYONE IS BACK!
Written by Boston Biker on Mar 10
Oh man what a difference a couple degrees makes. Its like a someone pushed a button and all of a sudden all the cyclists are back on the road! Welcome back everyone, we missed you, and are super happy you are back. Just an FYI, while you were gone the roads were destroyed by several snow-blastings. There are now pot holes, piles of sand/salt/rocks, still a lot of ice, and in general they are slightly more narrow.
All that being said, its been GLORIOUS riding these last couple days. I actually got to wear actual bike shoes, instead of winter boots, and I feel like a million bucks. HURRAH SPRING!
Have you started riding again? Do you remember what green plants look like? Have you figured out what that glowing thing in the sky is?

Written by Boston Biker on Mar 17Got this in the email today
——————-
First Day of Spring Neponset River Ride
Date: Saturday, March 20, 2010
Time: 10:00 am
Start: Castle Island concession stand in South Boston
Distance: 20-25 miles
Terrain: Flat and scenic
Leader: Doug Mink, [email protected]

We’ll ride along Boston Harbor and up the Neponset River to the
southern edge of Boston and back to the start. The new bike
path upstream from Mattapan Square is almost done! This ride
is cosponsored by MassBike’s Metro Boston Chapter and the
Boston Natural Areas Network. Helmets are required, and it
is a bit long for kids unless they’re in a trailer or on a
trail-a-bike or tandem with an adult. There will be a map
and cue sheet on the web site soon, hopefully tonight.

Neponset River Greenway Spring Ride
Written by Boston Biker on Mar 18I got this news today, looks like a fun ride. Neponset River Greenway Spring Ride: March 22nd 2008
This ride follows Truman Parkway north along the Neponset River, then cuts through Milton along the river to Dorchester Lower Mills, where we’ll cross the river and bike through Olmsted-designed Dorchester Park. We’ll follow John Adams’ commuting route, turning off it to go over Ashmont Hill to Boston Harbor. After stops at Victory Road Park and Phillips’ Candies, we’ll follow the Neponset Trail back to Milton and ride a bit of the Boston side of the river to Hyde Park, where we will cross back to Truman Parkway and return to the start.Click here for more details
