JOYful Biking

Due to the popularity of this class, please register for one session only. Tired of the Minuteman Bikeway and looking for a change of cycling scenery? We’ll explore interesting routes within a 30-minute drive of Arlington. Riders should be able to maintain a 10–12 mph average pace and ride 16–20 miles. This is moderate, but not leisurely riding. Rides will be on roads, paved rail trails, and on packed trails through the woods. Please note: Riders must wear helmets and have recently tuned road or hybrid bikes with fully inflated tires. Electric assist bikes that you must pedal are also welcome. Bring water, a snack, a great attitude, and a spare inner tube (just in case). Meeting location will be emailed one week prior to the date of first class. Weather cancellations will be made up as needed.
