A warm summer day awaited 15 Gang members as we met at the Bedford Depot to bike to Alewife Station in Cambridge, 20 miles round trip on one of the most popular bikeways in New England.
Most of the trail fortunately was shaded as we left Bedford, crossed Route 128 and then rode through sunny Lexington centre. Lots of other bikers and walkers had the same idea as we did. From Lexington we picked up some more shade as we rode through Arlington, stopping at Spy Pond first a group photo. Once reached Alewife Joel Snider took us on a scenic diversion along boardwalks crossing the Little River in Cambridge and lots of aquatic and native plants along the route.
On our return we stopped for lunch and coffee before finishing our ride at our start in Bedford.
