Join us for a special ride we are calling the “Tour de PictureUsNewton“ on Saturday, September 8th at 3:00 PM. Newton’s local arts non-profit, Newton Community Pride (NCP), has produced a public art exhibit called #PictureUsNewton and we are sharing in the fun.
#PictureUsNewton consistsof a number of works of art done by local artists, which have been placed in 12 locations all around the city of Newton. NCP invites you to check out these public art murals and invite you to use them as “selfie stations” where you can take photos (with bikes, of course!). Photos taken at any and all “selfie stations” can optionally be added to the NCP online Community Photo Album filled with faces of our diverse, welcoming, and BIKING city.
Our ride will visit a total of six of these art exhibits located in various parts of the city, and to top it off we will end up at the TRIO Courtyard in Newtonville in time to see one of NCP’s Fall Village Concerts. The fabulous Trilogy band (led by Tal Shalom-Kobi of West Newton) will be performing a live show at 5:00 PM.
Meet at the Newton Free Library on Homer St., and we’ll leave at 3:00 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. 12 miles roundtrip. Be sure to check bikenewton.org for any last-minute changes.
