Lexington Ride is On!

In the spirit of raising awareness rain or shine, we are still planning to make the Revolutionary Ride tomorrow from Lexington to Concord. 

Please forward this message to anyone you know who is planning to ride tomorrow as we have changed our route for safety reasons. 

We will now be taking the bike path to Bedford and then follow Route 62 into Concord. The route is much flatter and on good road surfaces the whole way. Here is a link with an online map of the route

The plan is to gather on the Lexington Green (across from Hancock Church) at 12:15 PM and depart for Concord at 12:30PM. 

Parking is available in the parking lot behind Hancock Church (1912 Mass Ave.) or in the St. Brigid's parking lot (2001 Mass Ave.), or behind the Church of Our Redeemer, 6 Meriam Street (back of church, MIDDLE spaces only, not along perimeter). 

I rode both routes on Wednesday. The bike path route is a little bit longer, but that should only add 5 minutes or so to the ride as there are far fewer hills.

The current weather claims that there will be rain free afternoon tomorrow with temperatures rising to 65! 

They say there will be rain in the morning, then no rain in the afternoon, followed by rain in the evening. Sounds like perfect timing if it holds. 


We made the decision to avoid the Minuteman path as it had a lot of leaves on it, and those leaves could be wet from the rain in the morning.
