August 3, 2022 - Circle the City & The Emerald Necklace -

 RIDE REPORT


Wednesday, 3 August 2022, Circle the City & The Emerald Necklace

Ride Leader:  Gary Williams

34 miles, 10:00 am start from South Boston, MA


Riders (7) Gary, Adam Walpert, Don Buchholtz, Everett Briggs, Gene Ho, Robin Frain, and Rochelle Holman.


Our petite group mustered at Castle Island for a unique tour of the Seaport, the North End, Charlestown (Bunker Hill and the USS Constitution), Back Bay, the Fenway, Jamaica Plain, the Arnold Arboretum, Franklin Park, Mattapan, the Neponset River Trail, Dorchester, UMASS/JFK, and South Boston.  We had only one incident, when a bus cut between riders at the back of the line and we lost Gene - he fell victim to the whims of RWGPS and made an early turn ahead of the group (we met up with him again later).  The route featured a mixture of paved trails, dedicated bike lanes, and city streets.  Notwithstanding the traffic, everyone made it back to Castle Island, without further incident, on a warm summer day.
