Every year we host the following rides. Anyone is welcome to attend, although non-members can only attend 1 ride per year:
Come for the bike ride, stay for the sense of community and belonging!
April Fool’s Ride, Every April: Don’t be a fool and miss opening day for our group rides on the Northern Strand Trail! Join Bike to the Sea on their first ride of the season.
Mystic River Herring Run & Paddle, Every May: As part of the Mystic River Watershed Association’s annual road and boat race, Bike to the Sea, in conjunction with the Somerville Bicycle Committee, has again been invited to lead a ride as part of the day’s festivities. The ride will take place along existing paths on both sides of the Mystic River through Somerville and Medford, in addition to the Park at River’s Edge along the Malden River. The ride will also feature the Wellington Greenway as well as the southern-most Bike to the Sea segment in Everett.
Bike to the Sea Day, Every June: The ride from Everett, through Malden, Revere, Saugus, and Lynn to Nahant Beach is designed to bring attention and support efforts to complete the trail. Riders can choose a shorter 14-mile course or the full 20-mile route. Police escorts are usually given to assist bicyclists at major intersections. Volunteers always needed.
Sand Sculpting Festival Ride, Every July: The 6 mile ride (round trip) from Malden to Revere Beach allows Boston area residents to skip the traffic and stressful parking and ride their bikes to the International Sand Sculpting Festival.
Fall Colors Ride, Every October: This is a chance to get in an “end of season” bike ride and to get close up to the fall foliage around the Malden and Mystic Rivers through the communities of Malden, Everett, Somerville and Medford. The route is mostly off-street.
