The Great Tree Ride
THE BIG IDEA:
We will meet at the Roundhouse Parking Lot on 5/31 at 10 AM. We'll ride 5 paved miles through Northampton, stopping several times to look at the coolest trees! We'll end the ride right back where we started, with snacks!
MEET UP LOCATION:
Roundhouse Parking Lot - parking is $0.25 an hour. the lot is right on the rail trail, and there is a bus stop right up the street at Pulaski Park!
SCHEDULE:
Pre-ride talk starts at 10 AM (please be there and ready by 10!)
Ride out at 10:15 AM
Back to Pulaski Park around 12 PM
(this is a rough idea of the schedule, things may be slightly different depending on the pace of the group!)
ROUTE:
The ride is 5 miles through Northampton on paved roads. There are a couple of hills, but the route is mostly flat. We will ride for a couple short sections on slightly busier roads, otherwise the route sticks to quiet streets.
We will ride at an average pace of 5-7 mph, and won't leave anyone behind.
ACCESSIBILITY:
All are welcome to join us! We will stop frequently for breaks and have a bathroom stop at the midpoint of the ride. There is also an accessible port-a-potty at the ride start and end. This event will be fully outside, and masks are not required, but are welcome. We will have volunteers available to help share any information. If you have any specific accessibility needs, please reach out!
KIDS:
These rides are open to anyone! Bring yourself, your family, your friends. If you are bringing small children, we ask that they tag along in a child seat or trailer if they aren't able to handle the distance by themselves.
WHICH WHEELS TO BRING?
The route is all on paved roads, so any bike or trike you have will do great!
