Please bring water for drinking during the ride and any ride snacks you might need!
MEET UP LOCATION:
Nathan Bill Park, Springfield MA - free parking in a small lot.
SCHEDULE:
Pre-ride talk starts at 10:00 AM (please be there and ready to roll by 10:00 AM!)
Ride out at 10:15 AM
End back at the park at 11:30 AM (this is an estimated time, this will depend on the pace of the group!)
ROUTE:
The ride is 6.3 miles through Springfield on paved roads. There are some busier streets, but we will mostly stick to neighborhood roads with lighter traffic. There are a couple of short hills, but the route is mostly flat.
We will ride at an average pace of 5-7 mph, and won't leave anyone behind.
This is an out-and-back ride that ends where we started.
ACCESSIBILITY:
All are welcome to join us! We will stop around the halfway point of the route. This event will be outside. If you have any specific questions or accessibility needs, please reach out!
WHICH WHEELS TO BRING?
The route is all on paved roads, so any bike or trike you have will do great! It just needs to be in good condition and ready to ride!
