SUMMARY:Minuteman Ride to Concord
DESCRIPTION:Be part of re-enacting revolutionary local history – on your bike! \nIn 1775\, on the night of April 18 into the wee hours of ApriI 19\, militia members from around what is now Greater Boston responded to an alarm spread by Paul Revere\, William Dawes and Samuel Prescott. The British were heading to Concord to seize militia weapons and supplies. Minute men from more than 20 communities\, including Danvers\, marched in some cases over 25 miles to stop the British in Concord and sparked this nation’s fight for independence.Can you imagine how much faster they could have made the trip to Concord if they had bikes? This year\, during Bike Month in May\, you will have a chance to experience just that. \nOn Saturday\, May 17\, a group of cyclists will re-enact the rides of Paul Revere\, William Dawes and Samuel Prescott to spread the warning that “the Regulars are coming out!” To complete this re-enactment\, bicyclists are invited to ride to Concord from surrounding cities and towns. \nBikeNewton will be assembling a contingent of “MinuteBikers” to join the fun and historical re-enactment in Concord.  So mark your calendars for Saturday\, May 17.   We’ll leave from Star Market on Austin St. in Newtonville at 10:00 am.    Ride ends at the Concord Museum\, 53 Cambridge Tpke.  There will be many bikers arriving from a number of towns between 11 and 1pm — there will be quite a crowd!   A festival open to all will start up at 11:30 and is expected to go until at least 2 p.m. There will be music\, a small expo area\, and food and beverages will be available for purchase. \nThis 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.   Total 28 miles roundtrip. Be sure to check bikenewton.org for last-minute changes or weather cancellations. \nApproximate Route:   https://ridewithgps.com/routes/50701138
