Boston: Looking for medium-paced riding friends

[Ana]

Hello! Now that the snow has finally melted, looking for some riding partners this spring/summer in the Boston area. I like weekend rides, 10-20 miles, 11-16 mph paced rides.

Thanks!

Go to the Northeast thread and look at the ride listed... It says April 9 in the thread title, but it's May 9 next Sat.
PM me for other ideas, depends where you live and if you can drive to rides.

Thanks for the tip. I'll definitely check that thread first. I'm just getting back on TE and the format has changed. I can't make it this Saturday but will keep my eye on the thread.

I don't usually post everything there... I ride somewhere in that range of average speed, and would be happy to ride with you.

[Ana]

Great! Will PM you.

Hi Ana, This question doesn't really answer your post, but since you are a Bostonian, may I ask you if there are any bike tours of historic Boston that you know of or could recommend? I live in Western PA, haven't been to Boston since a teenager, but have just finished reading 1776 and plan to go to Boston this summer. We LOVED the Gettysburg bike tour and hope to find something like that in Boston. Thanks for any advice!

I'm not Ana, but here's a link to a tour company in Boston: http://www.viator.com/tours/Boston/G...8-5151BOSCY014
You also can rent a Hub Way (Bike Share) and do your own tour, but you'd have to feel competent at city riding without guidance!
I'd also highly recommend doing the Concord Bike Tour, where you'll lots of historical stuff from the Revolutionary era, with less traffic: http://concordbiketours.com
I see them around town all of the time.
