Biking Brookline's August 3rd Group Ride to Constitution Beach and the Institute of Contemporary Art Watershed in East Boston. We crossed the BU Bridge to ride along the Charles River in Cambridge, crossed back to Boston using the new protected bike lane on the North Washington Street Bridge, and then followed the Connect Historic Boston protected bike path to Long Wharf, where we got the MBTA East Boston Ferry to Lewis Mall in East Boston. From there, we followed the East Boston Greenway to Constitution Beach and then back to the ICA Watershed.

Biking Brookline's July 19th group ride to Nahant. We followed the Charles, Mystic, and Malden river paths and the Northern Strand Trail to Lynn, and then did a loop following the perimeter of Nahant, enjoying beautiful views of the Broad Sound, Nahant Bay, the ocean, and the Boston skyline. We then took the Lynn Ferry back to Long Wharf in Boston. You can read more about our group rides, and see the route we took, at bikingbrookline.org/grouprides. (fb)
