This Friday is Bike Friday. Cyclists from all over the Boston metro area will be riding in to the city with police escorts and meeting up at Boston City Hall for a rally and free breakfast before work. The nearest starting point from Westwood leaves from the West Roxbury Roche Brothers parking lot at 7:00am this Friday, August 22 (see the map on the Boston city website).

The West Roxbury starting point is a little over 7 miles from Buckmaster Pond--basically a straight shot down 109 and Spring St that would probably take about 1/2 hour to 45 minutes to ride. The official "convoy" from that point is another 8.2 miles for a total of 15-16 miles.

If anyone is interested in forming a "Westwood Convoy," we could meet at Buckmaster Pond at 6am--and maybe even get on Fox25's Zip Trip. Send me an email using the Email the editor link on this site if you are interested and serious.
