Join us for a ride along the Charles River to the Charles River Jazz Festival this Saturday!  Festival is presented by the Boston Jazz Foundation.   The music goes from 12 noon to 9 pm; we’ll be leaving from Newtonville at 2pm and heading to Herter Park Amphitheatre (1175 Soldiers Field Road).  We’ll stay for a couple of hours, and head back to Newton by 5 or 5:30pm.  (We can discuss departure time as a group, but riders may choose to ride back to Newton on their own before or after that time.)

You must pre-register for the free tickets here:

The Amphitheatre has a limited seating capacity, so there is a chance that even with pre-registered tickets we may not be able to get in when we arrive.  If that is the case, we can just continue to ride along the Charles towards Boston, and perhaps try getting again on the way back!

Meet in front of the Star Market at 33 Austin St, in Newtonville, and we’ll leave  at 2:00 pm. This is a family-friendly, “no-rider-left-behind” ride and all ages are invited, but all young children must be accompanied by an adult. Bike helmets are required. 10 miles roundtrip.  Be sure to check bikenewton.org for any last-minute changes.
