Annual Bike to the Sea Day
June 7 @ 8:00 am – 1:00 pm
Registration is reopened for day-of sign-ups!
It will reopen at 6am on Sun. 6/7/26.
FREE for everyone!
Every June, come ride with us and celebrate the amazing Northern Strand Trail! 🥳
We’ll cruise through the communities of Malden, Revere, and Saugus — with the option to keep the adventure rolling on an on-road section through Lynn all the way to beautiful Nahant Beach Reservation.
The short route is 99% on the smooth, paved trail, making it perfect for riders of all ages and abilities. Class 1 & 2 e-bikes are welcome, and since motor vehicles are prohibited by law, you can enjoy a relaxed, family-friendly ride.
Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or just looking for a fun way to spend a June morning, we’d love to have you along. We expect to roll back into Malden by noon — smiles guaranteed! 🚴☀️
