Boston by Bike...at Night
Saturday, August 11th, 11:15p until Sunday, August 12th, 7:00am-ish
@ Trinity Church, Copley Square, Boston [map]
Hosted by Back Bay Midnight Pedalers
23rd Annual Tour of Architectural and Historic Sites
Meet in front of Trinity Church, Copley Square at 11:15pm, leave Copley around midnight. Traditionally, dawn finds the group at Castle Island, and there's breakfast at the end in Christopher Columbus park. Riders are requested to bring a bike light, wear a helmet and something reflective, have a spare inner tube (that fits your tires), and bring something for breakfast. Commemorative T-shirts available.
It's not a particularly taxing ride (about 30 miles or so) with stops to look at different sights along the way. Riding around the city at night when there is almost no traffic is a great experience. It's fun to be out in a large group and to learn something of the history of the city.
