WHEN: Saturday, May 4 9:00 am to noon WHERE: We'll depart from Vineyard Hill Reservation on Asbury Street in Hamilton. Please RSVP if you are interested so we know who to send the route info to and how many people we may expect! A volunteer team goes out and rides the routes in advance to check conditions and we share the Strava and/or Ride with GPS route with the group in advance. At the event, we'll split into groups based on expected pace and a volunteer leader will take each group out for their ride! All levels welcome!
