Ride To The Beach With Dotbike
Location(s)
The Dorchester Beach Festival is happening on Saturday August 16th from
11-4 at Malibu Beach in Savin Hill. Check out their web site for all
the fun things to do and see: www.dorchesterbeachfestival.com
DotBike is leading a family friendly ride to the festival along the
Neponset River and Harbor Trails. The ride is primarily on dedicated
bike paths and low traffic streets. If you've never been on these paths
you're in for a treat.
There are two distance options.
For a 4.5 mile ride meet us at 10:30 at the southern end of the
Neponset River Trail near the intersection of Central Ave. and River
St. in Milton.
For a 3 mile ride meet us at 10:45 in Pope John Paul II park near the Hallet St. parking area.
At the festival DotBike will provide free valet parking for your bike,
bike safety checks, giveaways and information on our efforts to close
the gaps in the Harbor Trail. We will also be providing escorts by bike
back to where you started.
And if you can't make it to our ride at 10:30 but still want to ride to
the festival we will have someone to meet you at Pope John Paul II park
every hour on the half hour from 11:30 to 2:30 to provide an escort. Or
you can check out our recommended routes on the map on our Beach
festival page http://dotbike.bostonbiker.org/dotbike-dorchester-beach-festival/ or at the 'Directions' page of the beach festival site.
